Wild Instincts | Tanzania | Western National Parks |
| This is without doubt a rare opportunity to combine two of Africa's last untamed wilderness areas, Mahale and Katavi. Both parks are still largely undiscovered and receive very few visitors each year. Days here are full of enchantment and spectacular wildlife and the camps are intimate and very charming. With guides who are extremely knowledgeable, the safari is about discovering the intricate workings of bush life. Mahale is quite simply, one of the most stunning locations in Africa. If not to see the chimpanzees, just come here for the serenity of the surroundings. Then there is Katavi, with its floodplains, woodland and herds of buffalo and prides of lion. And with only a few tourists, it's an intimate yet wild place. |

 Day 1 : 4 nights, Greystoke Camp, Mahale Mountains National Park
Today you'll fly from Arusha to Mahale. Upon arrival, you'll be collected by boat and transferred the short distance to camp. After lunch and perhaps a swim in the crystal waters of Lake Tanganyika, depart into the forest in search of chimps. Return to camp late afternoon for sundowners looking out over the lake. The following three days will be spent tracking the chimps through the forest with a guide, swimming, boating, snorkelling or generally relaxing in this pristine setting.

Day 5 : 3 nights, Chada Camp, Katavi National Park
Depart camp after breakfast (though this may be flexible) and fly by light aircraft to Katavi National Park. Upon arrival, you'll be met by a guide from camp and transferred to camp viewing game en route. Following a delicious lunch and time to relax, you'll depart on the first of many game drives to explore this fascinating area. Following sundowners, return to camp as the sun sets.
