Visit two of Tanzania's most remote wildlife areas, Katavi National Park and Mahale Mountains National Park; though these are two relatively difficult parks to get to, the reward for getting there is a fantastic game viewing experience including the chance to see chimpanzees, with relatively few other visitors.

After your safari, if you want to relax on the beach, then add one of our beach add-on trips in Zanzibar, Pemba, Ras Kutani or the Mafia Archipelago, to your itinerary.

Days 1-3 Katavi National Park, Tanzania

Chada Camp (full board & activities)

Freshen up in your large tented room and enjoy some lunch before heading out either in a 4x4 vehicle or on foot, on your first afternoon activity. The game here can be spectacular during the dry season and your knowledgeable guide will point out many interesting things.

Days 4-7 Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania

This morning, another small aircraft will take you on to Mahale Mountains National Park. You land on the edge of Lake Tanganyika, where a small crew will escort you onto a traditional African dhow boat. Enjoy a bite to eat and a refreshing drink as you motor round to a spectacular beach and the stylish…

Greystoke Camp (full board & activities)

Spend 4 nights here hiking into the hills to observe chimpanzees with your expert guide who will know each chimp individually - making your experience all the more fascinating. Then in the afternoons relax on the white beach, kayak out onto the lake or head off sailing on the dhow, before heading back to a superb dinner.

Day 8

After your last morning you fly back to Arusha, and then either continue onto one of our beach add-on trips, or overnight prior to connecting with your international flight.
