Western Circuit Safari
Adventure in Tanzania
- WESTERN CIRCUIT TANZANIA
One of the World’s Most Amazing Wildlife Spectacles.
Western Circuit embraces the parks along Lake Tanganyika, the western border of Tanzania with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The vast space in a remote natural location makes the circuit worth a visit.
Gombe Stream National Park was made famous by Jane Goodall’s research on its chimpanzee population and subsequent habituation. Mahale Mountains National Park further south, on the shores of the gin-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika, is a more authentic chimpanzee experience and highly recommended.
Only a few visitors who travel in Africa ever breach to Katavi National Park, perhaps the most inaccessible and unspoiled wildlife haven to visit on an untouched tour of Tanzania. Fly from Dar Es Salaam to Mpanda and drive to where, deep in virgin territory, spectacular numbers of Cape buffalo, giraffes, antelopes, and zebras dodge predatory lions, leopard, cheetah, hyena, wild dogs and jackals.

The park is dramatically changeable: peaceful, floriferous, and lush, with colorful butterflies and speckled birds in the rains, but harsh and violent as water becomes scarce for the hundreds of battling crocs and hippos that vie for a spot in a muddy wallow.

AREA TO VISIT IN Western Tanzania
The Western Circuit embraces the parks along Lake Tanganyika, the western border of Tanzania with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The vast space in a remote natural location makes the circuit worth a visit. Gombe Stream National Park was made famous by Jane Goodall’s research on its chimpanzee population and subsequent habituation.
Mahale Mountains National Park further south, on the shores of the gin-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika, is a more authentic chimpanzee experience and highly recommended. You’ll have to go further to find the chimps but you’ll get a better idea of how chimps are in the wild than by observing them at feeding pens. Katavi National Park is another 150km towards the south-east of Mahale and probably gets fewer than 500 tourists a year.
