This is Mahale at its most exclusive and personal.

Seven days of deep immersion in one of Africa’s most remote wildernesses. The Mahale Explorer goes beyond the standard chimp trek to uncover the park’s hidden trails, secret beaches, and nocturnal wonders.

This extended safari allows you to experience multiple chimpanzee treks, increasing your chances of witnessing extraordinary behaviours — grooming sessions, hunting parties, and the famous rain dance. Between treks, explore Lake Tanganyika by kayak, snorkel its remarkably clear waters, and hike the forested slopes with expert naturalist guides who know every trail.

“Seven days gives you the rhythm of the forest — you stop counting hours and start counting heartbeats.”

The quintessential Mahale experience — designed for first-time visitors who want to make the most of their time in this extraordinary park. You’ll trek with chimpanzees, swim in the lake, explore the forest, and return home transformed.

All accommodation is at Greystoke Mahale or equivalent, with all meals, activities, and transfers included. The pace is relaxed but the experiences are unforgettable. This package is designed so that every moment counts — early morning treks catch the chimps at their most active, and afternoons on the lake give you time to absorb the remarkable scenery of East Africa’s greatest lake.

“In four days at Mahale you will experience more wildlife magic than many travellers find in a lifetime.”
