This high-end jungle-chic lodge offers the ultimate safari with its stunning beachside location, along the white sandy shores and clear waters of Lake Tanganyika. Greystoke Mahale is the go-to camp for Chimpanzee trekking in Tanzania, with its expert local guides - who know not only the names of each individual chimp - but their ancestors, history, social behaviour and politics. After a morning spent trekking through the forest, spend your afternoon paddling a canoe on the lake or let the guides take you by sailing boat and look out for pods of hippo as they run along the bottom of the crystal clear waters. As night falls, head to the 'best bar in Africa' for a romantic pre-dinner cocktail and enjoy the stunning views with some nibbles, before a fresh, locally sourced dinner is served in the cosy dining area looking out at the African stars.
