Chimpanzee Country

Western Circuit

Katavi, Mahale and Gombe - Tanzania's last frontier

Fewer travellers reach the west in a year than reach the Serengeti in a week. Katavi's dry-season hippo pods and buffalo herds are unmatched, and the forested mountains of Mahale and Gombe hold Tanzania's habituated chimpanzee families on the shore of Lake Tanganyika.
