Highlights of this primate safari include visiting the lush forests of Mahale National Park where you will be hiking and tracking the local population of chimpanzees. Although seeing chimpanzees is the obvious highlight of this tour Lake Tanganyika is a very special place to visit and you will be able to snorkel in the lake and join the locals for your own fishing experience. Oh, and did we mention the chimpanzees.
