We are finding Greystoke Camp at Mahale is difficult to book into our desired schedule.

I WOULD LIKE A REPORT FROM ANYONE THAT HAS STAYED AT NKUNGWE CAMP.

Or better yet a comparison from someone that has been to both camps.

Or what have you heard of the reputation of both.

Good question. I want to know too.

I am trying to decide between Greystoke and possible a longer stay at Nkungwe, as it is much less expensive. Any insight would be great!!

I think Eben has been at both camps, so maybe he will chime in.

I'm dying to visit Mahale, so I'm very interested in this as well.

Here is a recent report from someone who stayed at Nkungwe.

Has anyone been to either of these camps in the past few months? Going to Mahale in October 2007 and wondering which to one to choose.

My spouse and I stayed at Greystoke this SEptember and found it to be the highlight of our safari.We did get a chance to "see"Nkungwe,albeit from a short distance. It appears to be nice,but not equivalent to Greystoke as far as luxury is concerned.I did hear that they run a good operation.If I could not get in at Greystoke, I would certainly stay at Nkungwe.Seeing the chimps is what you are there for.I hope this helps.

Thanks for your feedback. Seeing the chimps is most important. Sounds like Nkungwe may be best for that.

Seeing the chimps is the BIG reason for going to Mahale. Despite Greystoke's well deserved legendary rep, I think Nkungwe may provide a better chimp per dollar ratio. If you could stay longer at Nkungwe than Mahale, that would really be a plus for Nkungwe.

I hope we get more posts on Nkungwe.

Cheweyhead,
I will be at Nkungwe the last week of Sept, first week of Oct.
When are you going?

Cheweyhead

At this point we are scheduled to go Mid October to Greystoke. Kenya Rwanda Tanzania. Still finishing the planning.
