Mahale Mountain National Park - Tanzania

Distance covered  52 km   Total  404 km   Time 4.5 hrs.

Tonight  we feel great because we have crossed the halfway mark. We settled for  government bandas just north of Greystone Mahale which is a bit costly for the average South African. 30 USD per night compared to close on 1000 USD. We do have basic rooms with communal facilities. Greystoke is a beautiful place, after all it is named after the character Tarzan, the lord of the apes. Remember the comic strip?.

The area is awesome, with crystal clear water and amazing steep mountains. It is understandable  why  chimpanzees chooses to live here?.

As we move further north the swells seem to get higher, must be close to two meters. We learned a lot during  the last 10 days. The kayak is stable, spirits are high and we are looking forward to the next two days wandering around chimpanzee territory.
