This Park boasts of rugged mountains, deep jungles, crystal-clear lake waters and Miombo Savanna where mammals of the plains roam as they please. And all this framed by the most wonderful scenery, while at the other extreme, Mahale is unrivalled in the wealth of its small natural details.  The Park is Tanzania’s most significant refuge for chimpanzees, but as it possesses a unique combination of wildlife fauna, species characteristics of Savanna environments such as the giraffe and the zebra are to be found here as well.
