The Trip-Finder, January 1998 Tanzania Tracking Wildlife in Mahale and Katavi Mountain Parks The Route: Two weeks of trekking through completely undeveloped parks, where you’ll track the world’s largest group of chimpanzees in Mahale and see herds of buffalo, elephants, and lions in Katavi. When to go: May to October Difficulty: Moderate Travel advisory: Fear of flying? These parks are so remote — Mahale is 120 miles from the nearest road and 16 hours by boat from the nearest town — that charter aircraft is the only way to get there. Flights are included in the cost. High/low points: Sitting in the mountains above Lake Tanganyika, watching a family of chimpanzees eat termites. Rousing a crocodile from the floor of Lake Tanganyika during an ill-advised morning snorkel. Copyright 1998, Outside magazine
