Mahale Mountains

Mahale Mountains is the prime location for chimpanzees in Africa. It is a stunningly beautiful location where verdant forested mountains plunge to white sand beaches and a gin clear lake.

The chimp experience itself, which we rate as the best animal interaction in Africa, is hard to put into words, but let it be said that even the most sceptical amongst us now agree that this is quite literally a 'life-punctuating' event.

The remoteness of the location and the quality of the camps makes this an expensive outing, but one worth stretching to if you possibly can.

Zoe's Camp is the place to stay.
