The Experience.
Journey to the remote western borders to trek through ancient forests alongside our closest living relatives. This is one of the most exclusive and physically rewarding experiences in Africa. The Mahale Mountains rise 8,000 feet directly from the crystal-clear shores of Lake Tanganyika. There are no roads here—access is only by boat, and the tracking is done on foot through the lush, primary rainforest.
Arrival at the Rim of the World
A long charter flight lands you on a remote strip. A 90-minute dhow boat ride takes you to our camp on the edge of the rainforest.
Tracking the M-Group
Daily treks to find the habituated chimpanzee community. Spend a precious hour observing their complex social interactions and human-like behaviors.
Lake Tanganyika Sunsets
Relax after the treks. Snorkel with unique cichlid fish, kayak on the lake, or take a sunset dhow cruise to look for hippos along the shore.
