    "We couldn't have had the lovely trip we had without Mango helping us out! The logistics of figuring out flight times, transfers, lodging, even in today's web savvy world, would've been just too overwhelming. The peace of mind that came with our well-thought-out itinerary and the smooth, seamless transfers were priceless. We'll recommend you to all of our friends! And just as an aside, the Mango Velcro envelope and the T-shirts rock! Thanks!"

Itinerary

Days 1 — 3
Katavi National Park, Tanzania

Your flight arrives in Arusha, Tanzania. On arrival, you connect onto a private charter flight southwest to Katavi National Park. Your guide will be waiting to transfer you to camp on arrival.

With just 6 large tents and a maximum capacity of 12 guests, the guides at Chada Katavi sometimes joke that they can guarantee "a million hectares of virgin African bush per person." It is a combination of this unique isolation and some incredible concentrations of game that makes Katavi such a dream ticket.

Chada Katavi Camp — Includes: All meals, drinks, laundry, and safari activities

Days 4 — 7
Mahale Mountains, Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania

Your safari gets even more remote today. You take another shared charter flight to the banks of Lake Tanganyika where you are met on arrival and escorted to the boat launch. You transfer across the lake to your camp Greystoke Mahale.

No roads for 50 miles. Man can only enter on foot or by boat. You'll find Greystoke camp on the beach, right at the heart of it all. Tracking chimpanzees will be a mind blowing experience.

Greystoke Mahale — Includes: All meals, drinks, & laundry

Day 8
Depart

It's time to pack up all your camera gear and memories to make ready for the journey back to civilization. You take a shared charter flight back to Arusha. When you arrive, you connect onto your departure flight.
