Apart from Chimpanzees tracking in Mahale Mountains National Park there are other Animals that a person can look for. Bushbucks, Warthogs, Yellow Baboons, Red tailed monkeys are some of the animals that you will see while tracking the chimpanzees in Mahale National Park.
Most of the times while walking through the lower part of the forest, you will see a lot of dung on the trails. Some of them can be fresh and some dry. Most of the times the dung brings a discussion while walking through forest.
Bush Pigs are not often seen during the day, they come out of their holes or hiding places at night but sometimes you can only see them when they hear you coming and run away from their hiding places. But at Greystoke Camp area is different, normally from 7:30pm they always come behind the staff kitchen and feed on roots or sometimes seen wandering up and down looking for food near the kitchen or even near the guests room you can still hear them feeding. Getting close to them and look at them also creates another impression. You can get close to up to 40 meters but you will have to stand against the wind because they have a strong sense of smell that will alert them of your presence. It’s so amazing to see these animals during the night after you have seen the dung during the day. Bush pigs are not seen that often in other parks but you could see them here in mahale especially at Greystoke Mahale.
