Greystoke Mahale
- Greystoke Mahale organises a range of hikes to explore the forest’s waterfalls and ice-cool rock pools.
- Spend the day on the lake. Kayaking towards the Congo on crystal clear waters, you might be lucky enough to spot hippo swimming underneath the boat through the glass bottom.
- Set off into the forest with our chimpanzee experts to spend an hour or more sitting among the chimpanzees, spellbound by their social behaviour.
- Discover more of this ‘edge of the earth’ paradise; wander the tropical forests admiring the thousands of birds, primates and butterflies, take an afternoon paddle in the lake or enjoy a couple of hours stroll along the deserted sandy shore.
- Enjoy learning about the culture and traditions of a Tanganyika village, and see the positive work of Nomad in the local primary school and community clinic.

The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are truly spectacular settings filled with great herds and big cats.
