Mahale Mountain chain running from north-east across the
middle of the park, the highest peak being 2462m. above sea

last remaining wild chimpanzees in Africa. Between 700 - 1000
of these fascinating animals roam the valleys and hills of
Mahale.The park vegetation is mainly Miombo woodlands with
narrow strips of riverine forest.
The park enjoys the habitat of a variety of primates
including: yellow baboon, vervet monkey, red and blue colobus
monkey, as well as over 200 species of birds.Thick forest,
crystal clear waters and deserted sandy beaches make Mahale
one of the most beautiful National Parks in Tanzania.
