Western Tanzania

Western Tanzania is about intense contrasts: from Mahale's chimpanzees and the soft, gin-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika to the mega-herbivores that roam Katavi's savage grasslands.

  • Wild chimpanzee's in the Mahale Mountains
  • One of the wildest places left in Africa: Katavi
  • Rich in wildlife and largely devoid of people
  • Remote, and virtually as we found it 20 years ago

Southern Tanzania

Southern Tanzania is all about getting right out there into the wilderness, to walk, boat, sleep under the stars in a fly-camp and feel Africa getting under your skin.

  • Freedom to 'just be' in the heart of Africa
  • Boat, walk, fly-camp, fish, drive in Nyerere
  • Complete exclusivity at Kiba Point
  • The best dry season game viewing in Ruaha
Southern Tanzania

Our tents were beautifully located under a Kigelia tree with extra bed sites on a platform where we could sleep under the Southern Cross if we wanted to. The guides were professionals and they never got tired of showing and explaining the bush and the wildlife to us. We had tears in our eyes when we had to leave after 5 magic days.

Greystoke Mahale, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, has been around for many years. In the far and not much-explored west of Tanzania, it’s the best place in the country (probably in all Africa, actually, outside of the Democratic Republic of the Congo) to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitats.

 A comfortable tent, hot water bucket shower, and delicious meal awaits at the end of the day and your adventure deep into the wilderness. Evenings are best enjoyed around a crackling fire under a blanket of stars listening to the nocturnal calls of the bush. There is nothing quite like it in the world.

Get up close and personal with our genetic cousins at Greystoke Mahale. Perched treehouse-like on the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika, it’s your base for tracking the fascinating troops of chimps that occupy the emerald Mahale Mountains.

Nomad Tanzania has the beautiful Serengeti Safari Camp which is the perfect location to catch the wildebeest migration.
