5 Days Chimpanzee Tracking – Mahale National park

After breakfast you will make your way to the nearby village of Sigunga to take a boat to Mahale Mountains National Park. It is a peaceful drive into the park and you will feel like you have discovered the true heart of Africa as you leave civilisation behind.

After lunch at your lodge you will have the afternoon at leisure to enjoy the peace and quiet, relax by the pool or go on a guided forest walk.

It’s time for the big event!

After an early breakfast, you’ll attend a briefing and then head into the jungle, home of the chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains National Park. While it’s not a particularly strenuous hike, you’ll work up a sweat as you trudge through the forest in search of the chimpanzees that call the forest their home.

As these are wild animals not used to the forest, you won’t get too close to them, but you’ll have plenty of opportunity to watch our closest living relatives play in the treetops, feed on the forest floor, and go about their lives.

After your hike, you’ll return to your lodge to shower and relax.
