Greystoke is no ordinary camp. With just seven open-fronted double bandas with en-suite bathrooms, crafted from reclaimed dhow wood and nestled at the forest’s edge, it offers an intimate and immersive retreat into one of the most remote wildernesses on Earth. Each banda is designed to bring nature in – wake to the calls of colobus monkeys, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and step out onto your private deck to watch the sun rise over the vast, clear waters of Tanganyika.

While the chimps are the stars of Mahale, the adventures extend far beyond. Kayak across Lake Tanganyika, the world’s longest freshwater lake, surrounded by an unbroken horizon. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters, teeming with vibrant cichlid fish found nowhere else on Earth. Dine barefoot on the beach, with the Milky Way stretching overhead. Hike hidden trails, uncovering waterfalls and breathtaking views of the Mahale range.
