Wildlife Safari
4 Days 3 Nights
1
Tucked away on the remote western edge of Tanzania, Mahale Mountains National Park is one of Africa’s most magical and untouched wildlife destinations. This 4-day fly-in safari takes you from the city straight into the heart of the forested Mahale range home to one of the largest wild chimpanzee populations on the continent.
Your journey begins with a scenic flight followed by a boat transfer across Lake Tanganyika. Spend your days trekking through misty jungles in search of chimps, swimming in the lake, and soaking in the serenity of nature. With no roads in the park, everything is done on foot and water — offering an intimate, unplugged adventure like no other.
Ideal for wildlife lovers and seekers of remote beauty, this trip is pure wilderness, unforgettable encounters, and deep connection with nature.
Begin with a morning flight from Dar es Salaam (or Arusha) to Mahale airstrip. Upon arrival, enjoy a scenic boat transfer across Lake Tanganyika to your lodge or tented camp. After check-in and lunch, relax by the lake, swim in crystal-clear waters, or take a short walk along the beach.
Meal Plan: All Meals Included
Wake up to the calls of the forest and prepare for your first chimpanzee trek. Accompanied by park rangers and expert trackers, you’ll hike through lush trails in search of habituated chimpanzees. Witness their interactions, learn about their behavior, and observe them up close. Return to camp for a lakeside lunch, followed by relaxation or kayaking (optional).
Meal Plan: All Meals Included
After breakfast, head out for another chimp trek in a different section of the park, increasing your chances of seeing different groups. You may also spot other primates, birds, and butterflies along the way. In the evening, enjoy a sundowner by the lake or a short boat ride to watch the sun set behind the mountains.
Meal Plan: All Meals Included
Enjoy your final morning in Mahale with breakfast by the beach. Afterwards, you’ll take a boat transfer back to the airstrip for your return flight to Dar es Salaam or Arusha.
