Greystoke Mahale feels like a slice of paradise on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. Nestled in the heart of Mahale, it’s the perfect place to unwind and soak in western areas of Tanzania.

For the past several days, geospatial expert Holger Eichstaedt has been flying aboard one of our helicopters, conducting a specialized spatial survey of Tanzania’s mountain landscapes. Using advanced aerial mapping technology, his work is capturing high-precision data on terrain, ecosystems, and geological features in some of the country’s most remote and rugged regions. Helicopters provide the perfect platform for this mission, allowing for detailed surveying in areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.

We spotted someone building a boat bigger than his house by the shores of Lake Tanganyika. He might know something we don’t!
