马哈莱山脉国家公园（Mahale Mountains National Park）概览
位于坦桑尼亚西部的 马哈莱山脉国家公园，是一个兼具湖滨、山林与原始森林气质的自然保护区。这里不仅拥有世界最大已知的东方亚种黑猩猩群之一，更坐落于坦噶尼喀湖（Lake Tanganyika）清澈湖畔，构成一处极具魅力的自然旅游目的地。
公园概况与地理环境
马哈莱山脉国家公园 （Mahale Mountains National Park）位于坦桑尼亚基戈马地区的 Uvinza 区，毗邻坦噶尼喀湖南岸。公园覆盖的山脉从湖边直冲云端，最高峰 Mount Nkungwe 达到约 2 462 米。
与很多国家公园不同，这里没有修建车道或大型交通网络，主要交通方式包括船只和少数空中航线。湖滨的白沙滩、山坡的浓密森林和竹林、高地的草地交错成一种丰富的景观组合，使“湖＋山＋森林”融为一体，形成独特的旅行体验。
生态与野生动物亮点
最具吸引力的，无疑是这里的黑猩猩追踪体验。马哈莱山脉国家公园是坦桑尼亚仅有两个保护黑猩猩的国家公园之一，而且其东方亚种黑猩猩的受保护种群规模估计在 700 – 1000 只之间。当你参与“黑猩猩徒步旅行马哈莱”时，可能会在山林间听见猩猩呼喊、看到它们在树间跳跃、窝里玩耍甚至使用工具觅食。
此外，公园还生活着红短尾猕猴、蓝猴、黑白疣猴、黄狒狒等多种灵长类动物；森林深处还有豹、客种水牛等。湖泊中亦有丰富水生生物，是一个生态复合体。森林、竹林、高山草甸、湖滨沙滩共同构建了一个兼具山地与水域特质的自然空间。
如果你喜欢鸟类观察，这里有超过 300 种鸟类记录，包含许多区域特有种。
旅游体验与实用指南
活动推荐
- 黑猩猩追踪：清晨出发、步入森林寻找猩猩群体，通常可近距离观察约 1 小时。
- 湖滨活动：在坦噶尼喀湖湖边的白沙滩散步、游泳、皮划艇或钓鱼，享受湖水与山林的交汇。
- 森林／山地徒步：除了猩猩追踪，还可选择徒步 Mount Nkungwe 或沿湖山坡漫步，感受大自然静谧。
- 观鸟与生态漫游：识别森林与湖滨的鸟类、观察生态多样性。
最佳访问时间
整体而言，旱季（6 月到10 月）是最佳时间，林间路径较干、猩猩较易观察。例如 8‑10 月猩猩可能靠近湖边、活动更频繁。雨季虽然景色茂盛、游客少，但山路湿滑、部分营地可能关闭。
抵达方式与住宿建议
从坦桑尼亚北部出发，要抵达马哈莱一般需先飞往 基戈马（Kigoma）或直飞公园空strip，然后乘船进入。道路交通非常受限。住宿多为湖畔营地或小型生态旅馆，预算需较高。建议停留至少 3‑4 晚以提高体验质量。
旅行提示
- 要具备一定体力，因为徒步线路多且需在自然环境中行进。
- 因黑猩猩与人类共享近似基因，需注意健康防护、避免疾病传播。
- 尊重当地生态与文化，不留垃圾、不破坏植被、不打扰野生动物。
- 提前确认营地是否开放、航班与船期是否正常、备用计划。

My Tour to Mahale Mountains as Damasius Dominick. I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit the Mahale Mountains, and it was an experience I will never forget. Nestled on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania, the Mahale Mountains National Park is a true gem for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. Here’s a detailed account of my journey: 1. Arrival and First Impressions: The journey to Mahale Mountains started with a flight to Kigoma, followed by a scenic boat ride across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika. The stunning landscapes and pristine beauty of the area were immediately captivating. Upon arrival, I was greeted by friendly guides and staff who made me feel welcomed and excited for the adventure ahead. 2. Accommodation and staff: The staff were attentive, and the food was delicious, featuring a mix of local and international cuisine. 3. Activities and Highlights: The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the chimpanzee trekking. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights about the chimpanzees and their behaviors. Observing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat was both thrilling and humbling. Their interactions, playful antics, and sheer presence left a lasting impression. In addition to chimpanzee trekking, I enjoyed hiking through the lush forests, taking boat rides on the lake, and swimming in its refreshing waters. The diverse flora and fauna, coupled with the stunning landscapes, made every activity an adventure. 4. Wildlife and Nature: The biodiversity in Mahale Mountains is astounding. Besides chimpanzees, I spotted various species of monkeys, birds, and even a few elusive forest creatures. The dense forest, clear streams, and towering peaks create a unique ecosystem that is both vibrant and serene. 5. Cultural Experience: Interacting with the local communities around the park added a rich cultural dimension to the trip. Learning about their way of life, traditions, and the challenges they face was enlightening. The warmth and hospitality of the people made the experience even more special. 6. Overall Experience: My tour to Mahale Mountains was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery. The natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and cultural experiences made it a truly unforgettable trip. I highly recommend visiting Mahale Mountains to anyone looking for a unique and enriching travel experience.

We had a fantastic 4 night visit to Mahale. We stayed at the park bandas and while basic, they had everything we needed. Each Banda has two beds, bathroom with hot water. You are surrounded by the forest and animals including baboons, bush pigs, birds and monkeys. We arranged for a chef in advance (Saudi). He was an EXCELLENT cook, very friendly and always prompt. Peter Robinson, our guide helped us arrange transport, chef, hotel in Kigoma and also guided us all four days to see the chimps, which were amazing. While we could have stayed in5-star comfort a mile down the trail, I wouldn’t have traded our experience and opportunity to spend four magical days with Peter and the team at Mahale. Highly recommend!
