The two storey mess area stands proud on the beach, with perfect vantage points on which to sit and enjoy the view. Head off into the jungle in pursuit of Greystoke Mahale’s habituated chimpanzee group, as well as seeing a number of bird species, butterflies, leopard, bushbuck and over 250 species of cyclid in the lake – snorkeling here is excellent.
