Track chimpanzees in Mahale Mountains

The remote location of Mahale Mountains is home to the world's largest known population of chimpanzees. With no roads for a hundred miles you can follow chimps on forest paths watching them wrestle, groom and forage across the leafy forest floor.

As well as the chimps, the forest is home to several other animals, including bushpigs, bushbucks and an amazing variety of butterlfies and birds. It's also inhabited by nine species of primate.

After a busy morning of chimping, you can take an afternoon trip in a dhow and watch the sun set, whilst watching hippos swimming. You can also take a kayak out for a paddle towards the centre of Lake Tanganika.

Explore the Selous

Often the best way to see the most game and to avoid scattering the wildlife from the lakeshore, is to do a safari on foot. Time spent on foot really is an opportunity to engage all your senses.

Being on the river is a fantastic contrast to time spent in a vehicle and you can drift silently down stream watching the river banks unfold.

A real treat and a once in a lifetime experience is to spend a night flycamping, sleeping under the stars, whilst listening to the sounds of the bush.

See a diversity of wildlife in the Serengeti

 

The Serengeti National Park is Africa's most famous game park and a safari in The Serengeti never fails to impress.

There is a dense population of animals and in particular the host of predators that roam across the 5,700 sq miles of grassy plains, which are only broken by rock kopjes and small river valleys.
