Chimps & Highlands Treks – Southern Circuit

Follow the Trails Few Have Walked

In Tanzania’s far-flung south and west, the mountains rise and the forests thicken. This is where trekking meets true wilderness. Chimps call from the canopy. Waterfalls crash down jungle cliffs. Wildflowers blanket highland meadows. These treks go beyond the ordinary—far beyond the game drive—to immerse you in Tanzania’s rarest and most remote natural wonders.
