5 Days Mahale National Park
Mahale National Park contains the world’s largest protected population (approx. 700-1000) of the eastern subspecies of Chimpanzee. The park is a mosaic of overlapping rainforest, woodland, bamboo forest, mountain forest and grasslands, meaning that Mahale can support a unique mix of flora and fauna that rely on the various different habitats. Lake Tanganyika, is part of Mahale, and the world second longest and second deepest freshwater lake being 673 in length and 60-80km in width.
Tour Details
pick up from the hotel in Dar es Salaam. Transfer to Dar airport for your scheduled flight to Kigoma. Pick up on arrival and transfer to the hotel for lunch. After lunch proceed for a short sightseeing tour of Kigoma and Ujiji Town. Dinner and Overnight at Lake Tanganyika Beach Hotel F/B.
After breakfast, you’ll set off for nearby Sigunga village for your scheduled boat transfer to Mahale Mountains National Park. It’s a serene ride into the park, and you’ll feel as if have discovered the true heart of Africa as you leave civilization behind. After lunch at your lodge, you’ll have an afternoon to soak in the serenity, relax by the pool, or take a guided forest walk.
Dinner and Overnight at Fly Catcher Tented Camp
It’s time for the main event! After an early breakfast, you’ll attend a briefing and then begin your journey into the jungle home of the chimpanzees of Mahale Mountains National Park. While it is not an especially strenuous walk, you’ll work up a sweat as you press through the forest in search of the chimpanzees who call the forest ‘home’. As these are wild animals and not habituated, you won’t get too close, but you’ll have ample opportunities to observe our closest living relatives as they play in the canopy, feed on the forest floor, and go about their lives. After your hike is complete, you’ll return to your lodge to shower and unwind.
Dinner and overnight at Fly Catcher Tented Camp
After breakfast, you will head back into the forest for one last chance to observe and interact with the chimpanzees of Mahale. This is a shorter trek than your previous one, as you’ll need to be back at camp for hot lunch, check-out and board your boat back to Kigoma. Pick up upon arrival and transfer to your hotel. You will have the afternoon to relax on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Dinner and overnight at Lake Tanganyika Beach Hotel (FB)
After breakfast transfer to the airport, take a scheduled flight back to Dar.
