In our famous jungle-chic lodge by a gin-clear lake, we live and breathe chimpanzees.

Come on a legendary journey to meet the most privileged primates on the planet: the wild chimpanzees of Mahale – and us, the trackers, guides, and helpers who share their leafy Nirvana. In the forest’s dappled sunlight, chimpanzees romp and commune around us. At the lakeshore, on a white beach, Greystoke opens its shaggy arms, hewn from vintage dhows, proffering yet another level of pleasure to all our intrepid guests.

On the lakeshore stands our famous jungle-chic lodge Such a unique and magical place demanded a camp that was equally extraordinary, and so we set our imaginations free.

Greystoke built by a thousand boats At Greystoke Mahale, all the bandas – and the bar – have been built using reclaimed dhows from the lake shore, so each structure has its own quirky touch from timbers that sailed the lake many moons ago.

Space, solitude and the vast infinity of nature At the very edge of the world, Greystoke has all of this in spades. Here’s to our special spot, nestled between Mahale Mountains and Lake Tanganyika, where the forests are festooned with chimps and calm clear waters lap at your feet.

Open June to mid-March
