Fanjove Island is the place to learn to live off your own wit and skills! This is how life would be without shoes: So comfortable! The sun, crystal blue water, fish and birds and a whole island to yourself. What else do you need in life? Every visit includes a contribution for the conservation of a fantastic 11 km of intact coral reef. Thousands of migrant birds rest and feed here, green turtles lay their eggs. Hundreds of dolphins roam the seas and humpback whales pass during their migration. Nobody lives on Fanjove, except visitors and dedicated staff. The whole island is rented from the nearby village of Songosongo. A further 3% of income is dedicated to the community's social development. We are proud of our achievement and we continue to keep the island natural so we can all learn what life is about! Fly to Songosongo island, and explore the local community life of fishermen. Then take a short boat ride to Fanjove Private Island and if your luck holds, you will be accompanied by a pod of Bottle-Nosed dolphins. -

Chat with a Chimp at Greystoke Mahale
Greystoke Mahale has won the Best Location in Africa award at the Safari Awards for 2017. Greystoke sits deep within the Mahale Mountains National Park, on the edge of the second deepest lake in the world - Lake Tanganyika. Nestled between the gin-clear water of the lake, and the tumbling forests sits our extraordinary castaway lodge. There are absolutely no roads here, and virtually no other people. That is what being in Mahale is all about. This really is the edge of the world and the ultimate in remote wilderness. The main reason for making the journey down to Mahale is to see the chimpanzees. Mahale is home to one of the largest populations of wild chimps with access to a habituated community known as the M Group. A team of Japanese researchers have worked in these mountains studying the chimps for over 50 years, and the guides and their families have played a part in their work for decades. All of our camp guides have had a member of their family involved with the chimps since they were young, and they gladly followed in their footsteps. There is nothing the guides don’t know about the characters, politics and intricacies of this fascinating community and they bring it to life with an extraordinary passion. There is no one else you should meet these chimps with.
