Mahale Mountains National Park is a popular destination for tourists looking to see chimpanzees, lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and antelope. Chimpanzee trekking is the most popular activity in the park, with one of the largest groups of habituated chimps.

Visitors can expect to hike trails that wind up and around rolling hills, becoming rougher in the northwest and southwest sectors of the park. Bird-watching is also a popular spot in the park, with the best time being from November to April. Visitors can expect to see the Crested Guinea Fowl, Giant Kingfisher, Palm Nut Vulture, and Scaly Francolin. 

Mahale Mountains National Park is located in the Kigoma Region of West Tanzania and offers stunning lakeshore beaches, lush jungle vegetation, and mountain vistas. It is home to one of the largest and last remaining populations of wild chimpanzees in the world, and is an essential stop for keen photographers and safari enthusiasts.

The park has an array of habitats including rainforest, grasslands, alpine bamboo, woodlands, and over 90 unique species of fish. The final hour of the journey to the park is by boat on a cobalt blue lake, stretching 500 miles north to south and a mile below. Life here is a hedonistic wilderness cocktail with nine other species of primate, leopards, and a host of shy forest creatures.

Mahale Mountains National Park in Tanzania is a lush, tropical paradise located in the west of the country. Accessible only by boat, visitors can enjoy the variety of plant life and wildlife flourishing along the lush green slopes of the Mahale Mountains. The park is home to over 1000 chimpanzees, including the Mimikere (M-group) chimps, who date back to a Japanese research project in the 60s and 70s. The Holoholo and Batongwe tribes originally inhabited the park, but were forced to relocate due to the establishment of the Mahale Mountains Wildlife Research Center in 1979.
