Iri pakati penyika yeAfrica, isingasvikwe nemugwagwa uye iri makiromita zana chete (makiromita makumi matanhatu) kumaodzanyemba kwenzvimbo iyo Stanley akakwazisa asingafi achiti “Doctor Livingstone, ndinofunga”, chiitiko chinoyeuchidza nezvegungwa reIndian Ocean. Makomo machena ane silky ari mumvura ine ruvara rwebhuruu yeLake Tanganyika, akafukidzwa nemakomo emusango, akareba anenge makiromita maviri pamusoro pegungwa: Makomo eMahale ari kure uye asinganzwisisike.
Makomo eMahale, kufanana nerwizi rweGombe rwizi rwuri kuchamhembe, ndiwo musha wemamwe machimpanzee emusango asara muAfrica: huwandu hwevanhu vanosvika 800, vakagara nevanhu vanoshanya nechirongwa chekutsvagisa cheJapan chakavambwa kuma1960. Kutevera machimpanzee eMahale chiitiko chinoshamisa. Maziso emuperekedzi anoona matendere ehusiku hwapfuura - mumvuri wakaita semiti yakakwira mudenga.
Zvimedu zvemichero isina kudyiwa uye ndove itsva zvinova zviratidzo zvinokosha, zvichitungamira zvakanyanya musango. Mashavishavi anobhururuka muzuva rine matema. Wobva wangoerekana wava pakati pavo: muchigadzira majasi emumwe nemumwe anopenya akaungana, muchikakavadzana zvine ruzha, kana kusvetukira mumiti kuti musvetuke zviri nyore pakati pemiti yemizambiringa.
Nzvimbo iyi inozivikanwawo seNkungwe, zvichibva pagomo guru repaki, iro rinoonekwa seritsvene nevanhu veko veTongwe, uye pakakwirira mamita 2,460 (8,069 ft) ndiyo nzvimbo yakakwirira pane nhanhatu dzinoonekwa dzinoumba Mahale Range. Uye kunyange zvazvo chimpanzee dziri nzvimbo dzinokwezva nyeredzi, nzvimbo dzakatenuka dzinotsigira mhuka dzakasiyana-siyana dzesango, kusanganisira mapoka emhando yecolobus dzvuku, tsoko dzine muswe mutsvuku nebhuruu, uye shiri dzemusango dzine mavara akasiyana-siyana.
Unogona kutevera rwendo rwekare rwevanhu veTongwe kuenda kumidzimu yemakomo, uchifamba netsoka munzvimbo ine masango emakomo - musha werudzi rwetsoko dzeAngola colobus - kusvika kumakomo ane huswa hwakareba akavezwa nebamboo yemakomo. Wobva wageza mumvura yakachena zvikuru yedziva remvura yakachena rakareba, rechipiri rakadzika uye risina kusvibiswa zvakanyanya pasi rose - rine marudzi ehove anofungidzirwa kuva chiuru - usati wadzoka sezvaunouya, nechikepe.
