Situated on the shores of Lake Tanganyika this exclusive camp is the ideal way to distance oneself from civilization. Access is only by light aircraft as there are no roads for sixty miles. As you make the approach to Greystoke Mahale by dhow, the outline of the camp is visible against a backdrop of deep green forest and pale beach.

The focal point of Greystoke Mahale is the bar and dining area rising up from the sand and loosely modelled on traditional Tongwe architecture. The air is scented with jasmine, the forest rich, the water of the lake is gin clear, and lightly chilled.

The camp lies on a crescent beach at the foot of the Mahale Mountains, lapped by Lake Tanganyika. Your home at Greystoke Mahale is in wildly exotic wooden bandas looking out across the beach, with interiors fashioned from seasoned dhow timber. The six suites are open-fronted, with adjoining bathrooms, and upstairs chill-out decks, designed for the most demanding castaway. The highlight of the camp is the Chimpanzee tracking where you can become an intimate watcher of their secret lives. Other activities include sailing on a Tanzanian Dhow, fishing, swimming and walking.
