Greystoke Mahale is an iconic camp that is strung along the Kangwena Beach on the edge of Lake Tanganyika in the Mahale Mountains National Park, with the forested peaks rising dramatically behind camp. This is as remote as you can get in Western Tanzania.

The six open fronted double bandas are set the edge of the forest and base of the mountains, looking out over the beach and lake. The bandas have been built using reclaimed dhows from the lake shore and each has its own unique character and outlook. There is a mezzanine top floor level which can accommodate a child over 8 – but please see rules on chimping for children. En-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water and flush loos.
