 The Mahale Mountains are home to some of Africa’s last remaining wild chimpanzees: a population of roughly 800.

 To the north is the Gombe Stream, a fragile strip of chimpanzee habitat straddling the steep slopes and river valleys that hem in the sandy northern shore of Lake Tanganyika. These parks are know the world over for their exciting chimpanzee tracking safaris.
