THE GREAT LAKES CIRCUIT

Lying in the Great Rift Valley are the inland lakes, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and, further south, Lake Malawi/Lake Nyasa. All three national parks in this circuit offer the only safe opportunities to see chimpanzees in the wild today. The habitats of these areas are a merger between Western Africa and East Africa therefore the cultures, rainfall and flora are unique to this small area. The western circuit is seldom experienced on its own but is more often an addition to either the southern or northern circuits, or both.The Great Lakes Circuit is so remote that travel by both aircraft and boat is necessary in order to experience this lovely side of Tanzania.
