Venture into the remote wilderness of western Tanzania on this 7-day Mahale Mountains journey, where lush ancient rainforest meets the shimmering waters of Lake Tanganyika. This expedition combines world-class chimpanzee trekking with an exciting hiking adventure along the famous Skyway Ridge, offering a rare blend of wildlife encounters and mountain exploration in one of Africa’s most untouched regions.
Mahale is home to one of the continent’s most studied and habituated chimpanzee communities, giving you the chance for close, unforgettable encounters in their natural habitat. Alongside tracking chimpanzees through dense forest, you can swim in clear freshwater pools, enjoy sunset cruises on Lake Tanganyika, and take on the challenging Skyway ascent from Kasiha to the high ridge, where sweeping views stretch across jungle canopies, mountain slopes, and endless lake horizons. The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to November, when trekking conditions are ideal and chimp sightings are more frequent.
