Follow in the footsteps of Jane Goodall and experience intimate chimpanzee trekking along the forested shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Gombe National Park is one of Tanzania’s most unique wildlife destinations, best known for its wild chimpanzees and the pioneering work of Dr. Jane Goodall. Set along the shores of Lake Tanganyika, the park is covered in lush forests, steep valleys, and clear streams, creating a beautiful setting for exploring on foot.
The main highlight is trekking through the forest in search of chimpanzees, where you can watch them feeding, playing, and moving through the trees. Gombe also offers opportunities to see red colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, baboons, and a variety of colourful birdlife. With its remote location, beautiful scenery, and close encounters with chimpanzees, Gombe offers a very different and personal side of Tanzania.
