Greystoke Mahale
Greystoke Mahale lies between the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika and a huge Forest in the remote and pristine area of Western Tanzania. Due to its remote location Mahale has remained unspoiled and untouched for decades but is fast becoming a popular destination, as it is one of the best areas in Africa to walk and view Chimpanzees.
The forested slopes of the Mahale Mountains rise behind camp, home to the world’s largest known population of chimpanzees, with approximately 1,000 individuals inhabiting the national park. Greystoke Mahale affords its guests the magnificent opportunity to venture out into the forest, to observe these, our closest relatives, as they groom , wrestle and forage across the leafy floor.

Greystoke Mahale Camp Description
The accommodation at Greystoke Mahale is in wildly exotic wooden bandas looking out across the soft sand beach, with interiors fashioned from dhow timber. There are six bandas that are open fronted, with dressing rooms, adjoining bathrooms that are accessible via a short boardwalk with flush toilets and powerful showers, and upstairs decks where one can simply relax; all this designed with flair, generosity and passion for the most demanding castaway.
Guests can indulge in private barefoot dinners on the beach, or mix in with fellow guests in the wildly thatched mess, complete with library and upstairs viewing decks. The bar at Greystoke Mahale is a real gem set amongst the rocks with a view out west across the lake.
Activities and Wildlife
The forest itself is special and contains eight other species of primate, shyer forest mammals, birds, butterflies, giant vines and waterfalls. At Greystoke Mahale a day out visiting the Chimps is not all thats on offer as guests can; snorkel or swim in the clear waters of the lake (there are over 250 species of cichlid in the lake), fish or kayak along the lake shore.
Greystoke Mahale one of the last outposts of true pristine African Wilderness!
