Mahale is located in Western Tanzania to the South of Kigoma town, it is bordering Lake Tanganyika-the World’s longest, second deepest, and least polluted freshwater lake-harboring an estimated 1000 fish species. It is renowned for its fantastic sunsets over Lake Tanganyika, which makes it an essential stop for keen photographers and safari enthusiasts.
Covering a massive 1613 km² of untamed wilderness, the park is a captivating place to explore, with an estimated 82 species of mammal and dramatic scenery. Like its northern neighbor Gombe, Mahale National Park is best known for having a wild chimpanzee population of around 800 individuals.
Activities in Mahale Mountains National Park
The main activity in Mahale National Park is Chimpanzee Tracking and Trekking. The nearby Lake Tanganyika is a great place for snorkeling, swimming, and fishing as well.
The best time to visit Mahale National Park is during the long dry season (July to October). During this period, chimpanzees are likely to be seen in big groups, the sunshine illuminates the fish in the Lake and the beach is an inviting place to relax.
Chimpanzees can be viewed at other times of the year also, however it may just require a little bit more walking.
