Right beside the crystal waters of Lake Tanganyika, Greystoke Mahale is a truly remote destination; a jungle-chic lodge hidden within a chimpanzee reserve.

The Irish adventurer Roland Purcell discovered this paradise in the 1980s and decided to build a camp here that is as fascinating as it is remote.
Come on a legendary journey to meet the most privileged primates on the planet: the wild chimpanzees of Mahale, as well as the trackers, guides and helpers who share their leafy Nirvana. In the forest’s dappled sunlight, chimpanzees romp and commune around you.
At the lakeshore, on a white beach, Greystoke Mahale opens its shaggy arms, hewn from vintage dhows, proffering yet another level of pleasure to all their intrepid guests.
Key points:
- Location: On the shores of Lake Tanganyika.

- Activities: Trekking to watch chimpanzees, leopards, birds and butterflies, swimming in the lake, dinner on the beach under the stars, trips across the lake on board a traditional dhow, fishing and kayaking.
