A flourishing paradise waiting to be explored.
A unique combination of forests, mountains and lakes supports an
amazingly diverse range of fauna. Leopard, warthog, giant squirrel,
brush tailed porcupines along with at least nine species of primates
are just some of the larger mammals found here.
The abundant
birdlife includes the Crowned Eagle, Scaly Francolin, Crested
Guinea Fowl, Ross’ Turaco and the globally threatened, endemic
Nkungwe Apalis. Commercial fishing is prohibited along the park's
shoreline, affording protection to some 350 known fish species of
the lake.
Mahale National Park lies 120 km south of Kigoma and is 1,613 sq km in size. Dominated by
Nkungwe peak (2,462 m above sea level), and with 14 different vegetation zones ranging from the
lakeshore to Nkungwe summit, makes it one of Tanzania’s most diverse and dramatically distinctive
national parks.
There are over 1000 Chimpanzees in Mahale. The ‘Mimikere’ community of about 70 individuals live
in a territory including our camp. This group has been studied by members of Kyoto University
of Japan since 1965 and as a result the Chimpanzees are accustomed to the presence of humans.
This makes any encounter unforgettable and exhilarating.

| | | On a long stretch of Lake Tanganyika’s golden sandy shores, beneath the magnificent Mahale
Mountains, lies the new Nkungwe Tented Camp.
An uninterrupted cacophony of beetles, crickets and birds and the calls of Chimpanzees in
the forest accompany your stay at Nkungwe.
The camp is situated between Kasiha and Sinsiba streams and is
built with comfort and luxury in mind. Whether relaxing in the
lavishly furnished lounge, or on a Lazy (Uvivu) chair overlooking
the lake, Nkungwe Camp is the perfect place to wind down and
reflect on the wonders of your day. A simple stretch on our
cushioned beds on the beach with a good book while
contemplating your next adventure is always a comfort. |  |
