Mahale Mountains National Park is over 1,500 km² of remote untamed wilderness, overflowing with jaw-dropping scenery and incredible wildlife. Set in the far-west of Tanzania, this off-the-beaten-track destination is quite possibly the best place in the world for chimpanzee safaris. Trek through the dense jungle to find the chimps, relax on the soft white beaches of Lake Tanganyika or take to the water for some fantastic water sports.
