(OPENPRESS) September 11, 2008 -- Intrepid travelers have been “going on safari” in East Africa for well over a century, and Tanzania’s famed Serengeti National Park and Ngorongro Crater continue to awe and inspire adventurers from around the globe. However, travelers increasingly are looking to explore the lesser-known areas and experience the splendor of Africa in solitude, away from the crowds. Mbali Mbali Lodges and Camps, proprietors of four luxury safari camps, offers exceptional chimpanzee viewing opportunities during a week-long safari extension in Western Tanzania.

The region south of the great Lake Victoria and on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in Western Tanzania, is home to prized populations of chimpanzees and also houses some of Tanzania's best kept secrets. This region is truly one of the most remote regions remaining in Africa. Mbali Mbali Lodges and Camps of Tanzania combine two of their safari camps in an amazing week-long adventure. This journey to Western Tanzania, featuring three nights each at two of the best chimp trekking and viewing locations in Africa, is a perfect compliment to the traditional safari experience in East Africa. Travelers will love being away from the crowds and will enjoy the comfort of both Kungwe Beach Lodge and Gombe Forest Lodge.

This safari begins with three mornings of chimpanzee tracking in Mahale National Park followed by boat rides, fishing and bonfires at the lodge. At Gombe Forest Lodge, the second stop, in addition to daily chimp trekking, guests can remain active with hikes to the Kakombe waterfalls and Jane’s Peak. This Peak is named after the famed primatologist Jane Goodall, as The Jane Goodall Institute’s primate research programs are based out of Gombe Stream National Park.

This 6-night safari starts at $4,985. For more information please call 303.993.7906 or visit http://www.mbalimbali.com.

Mbali Mbali, which in Swahili means “Far Far”, invokes a feeling of vast lands of great distance and breathtaking uniqueness and helps travelers find solitude in Africa. Mbali Mbali Lodges and Camps operate a portfolio of four properties, including Kungwe Beach Lodges in Mahale Mountain National Park, Katuma Bush Lodge in Katavi National Park, Gombe Forest Lodge in Gombe Stream National Park and Tarangire River Camp in Tarangire National Park. The company plans to open two new properties in the famed Serengeti National Park and the massive Selous National Park in 2009.
