About the location
Nestled into the forest of Mahale as it drops down to meet the shores of Lake Tanganyika, it is often necessary to pinch yourself that this place is real! It is true that to get here takes a mamoth journey from either the foothills of Kilimanjaro or the wind swept shores of Dar es Salaa, but this is to step back in time and visit a slice of paradise!

camp Layout
“Laid back” is a phrase that is often used these days to describe somewhere that exudes a sense of calm and where time seems to standstill. If it were possible to put this sense into a physical form then the layout for this camp would be that!
Loosely centred around the main dining and reading area, the dhow bandas are connecting by sand walkways and sweeping views to the lake as if emerging from the forest itself!

Greystoke Mahale Accomodation
They have really managed to get it right, using local dhow wood for all of the rooms that seem to melt into the rainforest. The main building is also truly iconic in its design and build, with feet in the sand and views out onto Lake Tanganyika it is another world altogether.

Wildlife & Activities at Greystoke Mahale
While the chimp tracking is something that we recommend for everyone at least once in a lifetime, there are also plenty of activities to choose from in and around the lake. The fishing and dhow trips out onto the lake for a swim are great, and the natural rainforest itself is also a truly wondrous place to wander out into for an hour or so to learn the local uses for plants etc.
The combination of here and Katavi will simply blow you away…of the many combinations in Africa, this is definitely up there with the best.
