Situated in the remote Mahale Mountains National Park, Greystoke Mahale stands as a distinctive lodge nestled along the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika. The journey to reach this secluded camp is an adventure in itself; upon arrival at Mahale, guests embark on the camp's spacious wooden dhow, sailing through the tranquil waters to reach their destination. At Greystoke Mahale, the primary focus is on chimpanzee trekking. Expert guides and park scouts, who know each chimpanzee by name, lead guests through the lush forest, culminating in a captivating hour in the company of these habituated chimpanzees. Treks can vary in duration from 30 minutes to several hours, which does mean a reasonable level of fitness is required, due to the terrain. Beyond the chimpanzees, Greystoke Mahale offers an oasis for avid birdwatchers. The camp comprises six charming bandas, discreetly tucked amidst vegetation with enchanting views of the lake and beach. These double-story accommodations offer spacious interiors with rustic furnishings crafted from repurposed wooden dhow boats. Greystoke Mahale promises a truly unique experience, perfect for adventurous travellers seeking an unforgettable wildlife encounter
