We did have some apprehensions before coming to Mahale as we had great
expectations and were not sure how we would take to the chimps. Suffice to
say, Mahale and Greystoke did not disappoint.
The camp is located in a fantastic spot and the palatial rooms are full of
character and intricate details.
But no doubt, the chimps are the star attraction. We were lucky to get very
good sightings every day of our stay and while the trekking can be a bit
strenuous, it was still doable for the unfit (ie. us).
The crystal clear waters of the lake are especially appealing after a
morning's hiking and just relaxing by the beach is a great complement (or
even alternative...) to the chimp trekking. A cool cocktail by the lake and
a wholesome dinner perfectly rounded off our days and it felt almost unreal
to head back home from this fantastic place.
