Mahale Mountains National Park

Africa's Iconic Wilderness

Mahale Mountains National Park protects over 1,000 chimpanzees along the remote eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika. The park's dramatic mountains rise 2,462 meters above the crystal-clear lake, creating one of Africa's most stunning settings.

Chimpanzee trekking here is intimate - small groups follow habituated chimps through dense forest. After trekking, swim in the lake's clear waters or kayak along pristine beaches. Access is by chartered flight or boat only.
