Activity/Tour
Departing from Arusha, you will fly to Katavi National Park and spend 4 nights at Chada Tented camp. Game viewing in Katavi is superb, with high concentrations of animals and almost no other tourists or tour operators. There are no limitations to off road driving and walks and fly camping (if pre booked) can be arranged in most areas of the park.
Continuing the adventure of western Tanzania, you will fly to Mahale Mountains on the western edge of Tanzania, located on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. Here, you will spend the next 3 nights in this tranquil tropical paradise. With no vehicles in this park, your focus will be treks into the mountains to encounter the wild Chimpanzees in the forest, bird-watching, fishing, sailing, Kayaking and snorkeling. Far from the madding crowds - these destinations make you feel that the world has stood still in these locations.
Typical Day
At night the mess tent and library is the place to be, with silverware and glasses shining in the lamplight. From its elevated vantage point on a peninsula that rises out of Miombo woodland, the camp is perfectly placed for amazing views out over the wide Chada Plain. The canopy of tall trees is a great source of shade and food for the abundant animal and bird life. This means seeing great game often without even having to leave the camp.
This is the place for the wildlife connoisseur, and the traveller who thinks the African bush can offer up no more surprises. Happily indulged, watching the elephants head out to water as dusk falls, you feel like one of the last great pioneers; binoculars in your hand, Africa filling your head.
GREYSTOKE MAHALE
On a far flung beach along the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika, below a huge story-book tropical forest lies the tiny sanctuary of Greystoke Mahale. The forested slopes of the Mahale Mountains rise behind camp, home to the world's largest known population of chimpanzees, with approximately 1000 individuals inhabiting the national park. Each day you can venture out into the forest, to observe and commune with these, our closest relatives, as they groom, wrestle and forage across the leafy floor.
Your home at Greystoke Mahale is one of six exotic wooden bandas looking out across the soft sand beach, with interiors fashioned from dhow timber. The bandas are open fronted, with dressing rooms set behind, adjoining bathrooms accessible via a short boardwalk with hot and cold water, and upstairs chill-out decks; designed with flair, generosity and passion for even the most demanding castaway. And if a day's "chimping" wasn't enough, you can snorkel or swim in the clear waters (there are over 250 species of cichlid in the lake) fish or kayak along the lake shore.
It is a physical place, but also strangely undemanding. Perhaps because it seems to have been created for Great Apes themselves: figs, flowers, sun, shade, and water.
