Mahale Mountains National Park

Mahale Mountains National Park is a spectacular wilderness destination on the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania. The park is famous for its wild chimpanzees, lush forests, dramatic mountains and beautiful lakeshore scenery. Travellers can enjoy chimpanzee trekking, hiking through the forest, swimming, snorkelling and boat trips on the clear waters of Lake Tanganyika.

The best time to visit Mahale is generally from June to October, when the weather is drier and conditions are favourable for chimpanzee trekking, hiking and exploring the lake. Chimpanzee trekking is possible during other months, although trails can become wetter and more challenging during the rainy season.

Best for: Chimpanzee trekking, hiking, Lake Tanganyika, wildlife, nature walks, snorkelling and remote wilderness experiences.

Glad we made the right choice! Everything was perfectly organized and the communication was great. Before, but also through out our trip. Our guide to Ngorongoro and Tarangire was excellent. I totally recommend it!

he safari was absolutely incredible, and Joseph and his team made all the difference. Their experience and knowledge made it possible for us to see so many animals, including lionesses. We also had some truly magical moments, such as having a picnic in a beautiful valley surrounded by giraffes, baboons, zebras and elephants. But what I value most about the whole trip was Joseph’s incredible kindness and attention to every detail. He treated us like members of his own family and made us experience these safari days in a truly authentic way. I highly, highly recommend booking your safari with Joseph and his team. A safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and thanks to them, it was truly unforgettable for all of us. I sincerely hope we’ll have the chance to travel with them again in the future!

❤️ Some journeys stay in your heart forever, and this was one of them. Thank you, Zanzibar2SafarisExpedition, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. Watching elephants roam freely, hearing lions in the distance, witnessing breathtaking sunsets over the savannah, and experiencing Tanzania's incredible wildlife was simply magical. What made this trip truly special wasn't just the beautiful landscapes—it was the kindness, passion, and professionalism of the team. Every detail was thoughtfully planned by Joseph, and we felt welcomed, safe, and cared for from beginning to end. This wasn't just a safari; it was an unforgettable adventure filled with wonder, laughter, and moments we'll cherish forever. If you're dreaming of Africa, I wholeheartedly recommend Zanzibar2SafarisExpedition. They don't just organise safaris—they create experiences that touch your soul. "Asante sana" for making our dream come true. We can't wait to come back!

Here's a Google-friendly review that's natural, detailed, and personal: **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** We had an amazing experience on our safari to **Selous Game Reserve** with **Zanzibar 2 Safaris Expedition**. From the moment we booked, everything was organized professionally and ran smoothly, making the entire trip stress-free. We stayed at **Selous Kinga Lodge**, which was a wonderful place to relax after our game drives. The lodge was comfortable, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the setting was beautiful. A special thank you to **Joseph**, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He was always quick to respond, answered all our questions, and made sure every detail was taken care of. His professionalism and genuine care made a big difference to our experience. The safari itself was incredible. Our guide was knowledgeable and helped us spot a wide variety of wildlife while sharing interesting facts about the animals and the reserve. Selous is a stunning destination with fewer crowds, making it feel like a truly authentic safari experience. We highly recommend Zanzibar 2 Safaris Expedition to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you, Joseph, for making this such a memorable trip—we'll definitely be recommending your company to friends and family!

We did our Arusha trip with them. Right from picking us up at the airport to drop offs and 2 days Safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro, their service was impeccable. Punctual, clean, friendly, polite, knowledgeable, not at all pushy. Our Safari guide Mishalu was the kindest, politest, friendly and nicest person. Their Safari jeep was comfortable. They went out of the way to make us (we two and our 12 year old kids) comfortable, fulfilled all our requests for stops, helped with esim, currency exchange, everything. I would definitely recommend Joseph, Emmanuel and Mishalu from Zanzibar 2 Safaris Expedition for Tanzania trip. We will definitely do our Serengeti trip only with them. They were the most reasonable in terms of pricing too. They made our family trip memorablr.

Had the best 2 day safari ever with these. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond. Will be booking with Zanzibar 2 Safari Expeditions again in 2028.

Our four day safari in Tanzania was so much more than just a trip through beautiful landscapes. It was an intense, educational and incredibly warm experience. From the very beginning Joseph impressed us with his incredible knowledge about wildlife and plants. It often felt like being part of a live nature documentary. What we liked most was that he showed us many small details in nature that we would never have noticed on our own. Through his explanations we were able to see everything with completely new eyes. This safari truly went beyond the usual experience. Joseph was not only focused on guiding us, he was also interested in us and our lives. He asked about how we live, how we think and what our perspectives are. This created meaningful conversations and a genuine exchange. It did not feel like a tour with a guide, but more like traveling with a friend. This personal and friendly atmosphere made the whole experience even more special. We had so much fun and laughed a lot. Joseph explained everything clearly, with great humor and passion. At the same time everything was perfectly organized. We started early in the morning for our game drives and still had plenty of time in the afternoon to relax at the pool of our accommodation. For us it was the perfect balance of activity, learning, discovery and relaxation. This safari was not just an adventure, but a deeply enriching experience on both a human and cultural level. We would travel with Joseph again anytime and can wholeheartedly recommend this experience. ASANTE SANA Joseph :)
