Mahale forest is a Game Reserve on the shores of Lake Tanganyka in Tanzania. It is one of the last refuges of wild chimpanzees in Africa, but hemmed in by human populations who compete for use of the forest. The precipitous mountains however ensure that much of the reserve stays inaccessible to humans, thus preserving some habitat for the chimpanzees.




The forest is richly abundant in plant, insects invertebrates birds and small mammals - many of whom are food sources for the chimpanzees and people.
