Overview

This 8-day luxury fly-in safari showcases two of Tanzania’s most extraordinary wilderness destinations.

Begin your journey with three nights in Katavi National Park, one of Africa’s most untouched safari parks. Famous for its massive buffalo herds, large elephant populations, predators, hippo pools, and virtually no tourist traffic, Katavi offers an authentic African safari unlike anywhere else.

Continue by scenic bush flight to Mahale Mountains National Park, where dense rainforest meets the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika. Spend four nights exploring the forests in search of habituated wild chimpanzees, enjoying boat excursions, forest walks, kayaking, snorkeling, birdwatching, and relaxing at one of Tanzania’s most exclusive lakeside lodges.

With extra time in Mahale, this itinerary provides two guided chimpanzee trekking experiences, allowing greater flexibility and increasing your chances of exceptional encounters with our closest relatives in the wild.

Perfect for photographers, honeymooners, wildlife enthusiasts, conservation travelers, and guests looking for Tanzania’s most exclusive safari experience.
