The indescribable Greystoke Mahale is located against the dramatic backdrop of the Mahale Mountains in an idyllic bay on the beautiful Kangwena sandy beach in the middle of the breathtaking Mahle Mountains National Park and is managed by the renowned Nomad Tanzania group who maintain other exclusive camps in Africa.
The Greystoke Mahale can only be reached by plane and the guests of the exceptional accommodation are flown in directly from the Serengeti, Arusha, Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. Due to the stopover in the Katavi National Park, a combination with a visit to the Katavi National Park and the Mahle Mountains National Park is recommended. From the airstrip in the north of the park, the transfer by boat to the luxury camp takes another 1.5 hours.
The main reason is certainly the chimpanzees in the pristine Mahle Mountains National Park and other activities on Lake Tanganyika. The Mahle Mountains National Park is one of the best places with the GOMBE Stream National Park to see chimpanzees in the wild. The chimpanzees are mostly habituated and easy to track down and observe, but longer chimpanzee tracking tours can also occur.
The dreamlike Greystoke Mahale is wonderfully situated on a small bay with a beautiful sandy beach on the crystal clear Lake Tanganyika. In the indescribable Greystoke Mahale you will feel like Robinson Crusoe or Tarzan without having to forego any comfort.
For the construction of the seven two-story bandas with a palm roof, only materials from old and weathered masts and planks from old dhow sailing boats were used, which create an extraordinary atmosphere inside. The Vitage-style bandas have open bathrooms and offer beautiful views of the white beach and Lake Tanganyika on the second floor.
The open main building and the open air bar located on a rock with a fantastic view over Lake Tanganyika and its intoxicating sunsets are also impressive.
The overnight price includes full board with local drinks and daily exclusive private chimpanzee tracking tours as well as boat and fishing trips with a traditional fishing boat to romantic sunsets and other activities. In the luxury camp, sustainability and harmony with nature come first.
After an exciting safari in the north of Tanzania, as a safari extension, experience the Mahle Mountains National Park, which is rarely visited by tourists, with its unique fauna and flora in the extraordinary Greystoke Mahale and experience the chimpanzees of Tanzania up close.
