On the white-sand shores of Lake Tanganyika, forested mountains hide one of Africa's most magical experiences: tracking wild chimpanzees through ancient jungle.
Mahale Mountains National Park protects around 800 wild chimpanzees, including the habituated M-group that visitors can track on foot with researchers and guides. Mornings in the forest, afternoons swimming or kayaking in the world's longest freshwater lake — there is nowhere else like it.

Treks range from one to several hours on forest trails; a reasonable fitness level helps, and trackers locate the group each morning.
