Gombe Stream National Park

Safari Highlights:

Track the chimps of Gombe Stream, the smallest of Tanzania’s national parks. This fragile strip of chimpanzee habitat straddles the steep slopes and river valleys which hem in the sandy northern shore of Lake Tanganyika.

Enjoy observing the chimpanzees, habituated to human visitors during Jane Goodall’s internationally acclaimed behavioral research program which commenced in 1960 and continues to this day.

Visit the other attractions at Gombe Stream - a troop of beachcomber olive baboons and both red-tailed and red colobus monkeys which inhabit the forest canopy alongside some interesting bird species. 

 Admire the lanterns of hundreds of small wooden boats on the lake after dusk, forming a reflection of the star-studded African night sky.

Step aboard a local lake-taxi from Kigoma; these take approximately three hours to reach Gombe. Alternatively, motorboats can be hired and with these faster vessels the trip takes only one hour. Kigoma is connected to Dar and Arusha by scheduled flights.

Take part in other activities at Gombe: these include hiking, swimming and snorkeling. From Kigoma, it is a short trip to Ujiji where you can watch the renowned dhow builders at work and visit the site of Stanley’s famous greeting to Dr Livingstone.

Spend a night in the new luxury tented lodge, the self-catering hostel or the guest house.  Alternatively, pitch your tent at a   lakeshore campsite.
