Is the Mbali Mbali Mahale for Me?

Mbali Mbali Mahale sits on a stretch of sheltered beach, with the backdrop formed by the dramatic Mahale Mountain range, and the crystal clear waters of Lake Tanganyika in the foreground.

Each Tented accommodation is on a raised platform, with electricity and hot and cold running water. The tents provide self-contained mosquito nets around the beds and bathroom.

The primary activity in the park is chimpanzee trekking, carefully monitored so as to reduce human impact on the famous habituated M-Group chimps. Take a gentle boat safari on the lake, or opt for a fishing excursion, where you may encounter crocodile, hippo and otter as well as an abundance of birdlife. Kayaks are available for exploring the lake at your leisure, or you may choose to simply stretch out under one of the salas on the beach, while the gentle lapping of the lake lulls you into an afternoon siesta.
