-
After a spot lunch you have the choice of heading back out along more nature trails, a fishing trip or paddling on a kayak, or just choose to relax on the sands with a good book before a delicious dinner
-
Lace up your walking boots and head out into the verdant jungle along with your knowledgeable guide to track down and observe groups of chimpanzees in their natural habitat
-
The lodge’s main building and the six bandas in which you’ll sleep are built from natural materials and blend effortlessly into the environment – staying here you’ll be rewarded with stunning views out over the crystal-clear lake
It's no exaggeration to say there is nowhere in the world like Greystoke, Mahale. Greystoke, Mahale sits on a pristine, white sandy beach overlooking the turquoise water of Lake Tanganyika, with the forested slopes of the 8000 ft Mahale Mountains rising behind.
Greystoke affects people in a way that no other place does; perhaps it's because of its remoteness, and because of the mountains rising from the beach at your backs, the wide lake with its many different moods and the feeling that you are the only ones here. With just seven wood and thatch bandas set on the edge of the forest line at the base of the mountains your days can start there, eating breakfast while waiting to hear news of the chimps and deciding what to do with your day. Evenings end with sundowners on the rocks of the headland, where drinks are served around the lamp-lit bar while the mountains, rising behind camp, disappear into the darkness.
