A new perspective.
A different feeling.
Forest-covered slopes and the waters of Lake Tanganyika, with chimpanzees at its heart.
Gombe brings the journey into forested terrain beside Lake Tanganyika. Tracking is guided and subject to park requirements, with the daily plan responding to conditions and the movement of the chimpanzees. Allow a flexible pace around the forest walk and the return to your lodge.
A stay in Gombe Stream National Park can be a focus in its own right or part of a wider Tanzania route. The right number of nights depends on your interests, the available connections and the amount of time you want to spend in each setting. We plan the route and accommodation together so that the journey feels connected rather than hurried.
