The story

Mahale Mountains became a national park in 1985 to protect forested slopes rising from Lake Tanganyika. It is one of the best places in Africa to combine chimpanzee trekking with freshwater beach scenery.

Short history story

Before park travel, these lake shores were fishing and trading places. Today visitors arrive slowly, often by boat or small aircraft, which keeps Mahale feeling remote and precious.
