Best places to stay on your chimps trekking.

Best places to stay on your chimps trekking in Tanzania.

There are only three places in Tanzania where it’s possible to track chimps in their natural habitat. Of those are, Mahale, Rubondo, and Gombe are the three more affordable options for encountering chimps in their natural habitats.

Ethical and safe encounters coupled with unmatched forest views and some of the best-tented camps you’ll find in these remote areas of Tanzania mean that these destinations guarantee a magical safari getaway that you’ll never forget, with Seven wonders safari we would like to focus on Mahale and Rubondo since this two destination offer off the bitten-track experience we would love to share with our guest.

For breathtaking views, unforgettable experiences, and luxurious stays, these are our top 2 places to stay on a Mahale and Rubondo safari trip:

Mahale National Park

Set deep in the heart of the African interior on a stretch of secluded golden beach, Mbali Mbali Mahale is the perfect blend of comfort and luxury in a romantic setting. Mahale is a pristine, natural experience open to those willing to walk its trails. The birds, primates, monkeys, small predators and butterflies, all offer signs of life and there is little that beats an amble through the forest.
