Mahale Mountains National Park

Located in remote western Tanzania, Mahale Mountains National Park is one of the most picturesque places to visit in Tanzania. The forested park borders Lake Tanganyika, one of the oldest and deepest lakes in the world, with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
Getting to Mahale Mountains National Park is an adventure, as it is only accessible by air and boat. The park has no roads, only forest paths through the lush vegetation, making this park a hiker’s paradise.
Mahale Mountains National Park is a haven for primates, and chimpanzee trekking is one of the prime reasons to visit. Home to roughly 800 chimpanzees, the Mimikere group is habituated to humans and is easier to spot, thanks to companionship from Japanese researchers for the last five decades.
The park is also absolutely stunning. The forests have beautiful rivers and waterfalls, and along the lake’s shoreline are some of the most unspoilt white sandy beaches imaginable.
Highlights of Mahale Mountains National Park Mahale Mountain National Park is unique due to its remoteness and the incredible primate trekking, hiking, snorkelling and birdwatching opportunities it offers.
The park is home to nine species of primates, including the Yellow Baboon, Red Colobus, Blue monkeys and the Red-tailed monkeys, and 73 other mammals.
During treks into the forest, chimpanzee sightings can happen between thirty minutes for the first sightings and to up to three hours into a trek. Hikers also have the chance to spot other incredible animals, such as Roan and Sable antelope, mongoose, warthog and sometimes even lion, leopard and crocodiles.
In Lake Tanganyika, hippos are sometimes sighted swimming in the crystal clear waters. Although the amphibian and reptile life at Mahale Mountains National Park has still not been thoroughly researched, at least 20 amphibian and 26 reptile species are believed to reside here.
Home to 355 bird species, a visit to this park is a must for amateur and serious birders. From the white sandy beaches pelicans, storks, Malachite kingfishers, Pied kingfishers and Fish eagles can be seen. Whilst in the forests, it is possible to see the spectacular Livingston’s Turacos, Narina Trogons, Crested Guinea Fowls and Blue Cheeked Bee-eaters.
Snorkelling in the clear shallow waters of Lake Tanganyika allows you to see over 250 endemic fish species.
