Tanzania West

West Tanzania is a surprisingly remote region and very little visited. The main town out on Lake Tanganyika, Kigoma, at least a two hour flight from Dar es Salaam or Arusha.

The main draw in this part of the world is the fabulous chimpanzee reserve in the Mahale Mountains, one of the most beautiful locations in Africa, offering one of the ultimate animal interactions.

Another significant target is Katavi national park, a kind of holy grail amongst safari officianados, a park so remote that it struggles to get its annual international visitor numbers into three figures.
