Kasoje Forest



By Lazaro George - Guide, Greystoke Mahale

It was 20th of September 2009 rain started here in Mahale Mountain National Park before that day it was very dry everywhere. Within one week the new shoots started to set up although the rain stopped for a short time. It was a good time to spot the other primates from far away feeding on new leaves at the time.

Actually west Tanzania especially along lake Tanganyika, the rainy season lasts a long time compared to other places here in Tanzania. Most of the time of the year, all mountains look green and the forest is very dense.

We normally take the people to the middle of the lake where we are enjoying a lovely view from both sides of the lake. We also enjoy to be at a place like this without seeing any other people or boats around
