GREYSTROKE MAHALE

Tanzania’s Chimpanzee Paradise

Fifty years ago, millions of chimpanzee lived throughout equatorial Africa. Today, they are listed as endangered. There are only 170,000 to 300,000 left and, with their habitat under constant threat, their numbers are declining rapidly. The eastern chimpanzee range has been reduced to the Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo, western Uganda, Rwanda and western Tanzania. Chimpanzee live in a range of habitats including tropical rainforests, dry woodlands and savannah.

A fascinating fact is that groups of chimpanzee living in different regions have unique behaviours, tools and traditions that are passed down from one generation to the next.

They are highly sociable creatures that live in communities of up to 120 individuals. Chimpanzee communicate by using vocalisations, hand gestures and facial expressions.

Mahale National Park and its majestic forested mountains are home to these endangered chimpanzees and a variety of other primates. The area boasts of spectacular lush mountain vegetation views that rise dramatically from the shores of the lake. It’s one of the most remote parts of Tanzania and is best accessible by air or a boat.

Located at the edge of Lake Tanganyika, a safari to Mahale Mountains National Park also includes water activities like dhow cruises, fishing in designated areas, and snorkelling.
