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.”
