Mahale Mountains National Park

This remote park offers some of the greatest visitor attractions, from walking safaris, chimpanzee viewing in their natural habitat, a climb to Mount Nkungwe and snorkeling in Lake Tanganyika. Accessible only by boat or by air, it makes it the least accessible and least visited.

Visa requirementsTanzania visa requirements for tourists include a passport valid for at least 6 months, a completed application, a return ticket, and a fee (typically $50 for single entry, $100 for U.S. citizens). Travelers should apply for an e-Visa online at least 2-3 weeks before travel, though visas are available on arrival.

Core Requirements for Tourist/Ordinary Visa

  • Passport: Valid for at least 6 months with at least one blank page.
  • Application: Duly filled-in and signed application form.
  • Photo: A recent passport-size photograph.
  • Return Ticket: Proof of return ticket or onward travel arrangements. Fee: Payment of the visa fee (varies by nationality, $50 for most, $100 for U.S. citizens).

Application Methods

  • e-Visa: Highly recommended for faster processing. You will receive a "grant notice" via email, which you present upon arrival.
  • Visa on Arrival: Available at major entry points (airports/borders). It is recommended to have USD cash for payment.

Specific Considerations

  • Minors: Children under 18 traveling alone or with one parent require a notarized letter signed by both parents/legal guardians and a copy of their ID.
  • Business/Other Visas: Require additional documentation, such as a letter from the organization or host, business registration documents, or contracts.
  • Volunteer Work: Prohibited on a standard tourist visa; a Class "C" Residence Permit is required.
  • Health: Travelers should check current yellow fever vaccination requirements.

Sports & nature

Like its northern neighbour Gombe, Mahale National Park is best known for having a wild chimpanzee population of around 800 individuals.

Only accessible by boat or plane, Mahale National Park is a wild frontier that offers brilliant hiking and the opportunity to climb the imposing Mount Nkungwe. The park's dense undergrowth and mountainous setting make it a park for the physically fit, but it rewards intrepid explorers with a wealth of animal and bird life.

Nearby Lake Tanganyika is a great place for snorkelling, swimming, and fishing as well.
