Complete isolation at this castaway heaven. Greystoke Mahale is guaranteed to knock your socks off.
On a pristine white sand beach on the edge of Lake Tanganyika, where the majestic Mahale Mountains soar up from the shores of the azure lake.
Tucked beneath the palms along the edge of the beach lie six thatched driftwood bandas. Each one is open-fronted with an adjoining bathroom and an upstairs chill-out deck, designed for the most demanding castaway.
The impressive two-storey winged dining pavilion is the focal point for relaxed dinners (and chimping tales) and the headland bar, set on the rocks, is the perfect spot for star-gazing and enjoying fresh sashimi and iced vodka with spectacular views over the lake.
Hike through the forest in search of our furry cousins, swim in the crystal clear waters, take out a kayak or boat, enjoy a sundowner boat trip or simply lie on the warm sand with a book from the lodge's library.
Accessed by shared light aircraft on Monday and Thursday or by private charter, it doesn’t get much more remote than this, but if you can take the time out to visit, you certainly won’t forget it! Combine with a safari at Chada Katavi for the ultimate Western Tanzania itinerary.
