Mahale Mountains
Aside from its unique wildlife and blue-green lake waters, the Mahale Mountains region is delightfully secluded. Arrival is by small plane and riverboat, with delivery to luxury lodges that are perfect for relaxation and reconnecting with nature. It’s a textbook example of what makes Tanzania so special – you’ve got mountains, rainforest and a lake all in one spot.
- Best place in east Africa for chimpanzee tracking.
- Ideally paired with Katavi National Park.
- Hyper-secluded and quiet.
- Outdoor adventure including kayaking, snorkelling and trekking.
- Arrival by small plane and boat leaves a lasting impression.
