Chimpanzee trekking
Chimpanzee trekking
Best: May to October · Half day, strenuous
Tracking a habituated chimpanzee community on foot in the Mahale Mountains.
Steep, humid, and unlike anything else in Tanzania. The Mahale community has been studied for decades and tolerates people at close range. Expect two to four hours of uphill walking and one hour with the animals once you find them.

Some of these need booking months ahead, others need only a word to the camp the night before. Tell us which ones matter and we will plan the days around them.
