Mahale Mountains National Park
lies on the shores of Africa's
deepest and longest freshwater
lake, Tanganyika. The remote
rain forests of the Mahale Mountains
are home to groups of chimpanzee
which feed and play amongst
the luxuriant vegetation on
the forest floor. They have
been the focus of much research
by scientists around the world
and there are an estimated 1,000
in the Park divided into 20
family troupes of about 50 each.
By contrast, colourful exotic
tropical fish swim in the crystal
clear waters of Lake Tanganyika
and a spectacular variety of
birds are found along the lake
shore. Other wildlife often
spotted in the park includes
roan antelopes, buffaloes, zebras
and some lions. The park also
has stunning scenery at the
lakeshore with white sand beaches
and clear water.
