Day 1: Gombe Stream National Park – The Chimps’ Haven

Begin Your Primate Exploration: Your journey kicks off with a scenic transfer to Gombe Stream National Park, famously known as the research site of Jane Goodall. As you step into the dense forest, the anticipation of encountering chimpanzees heightens. Guided walks through the park’s trails offer a glimpse into the daily lives of these fascinating primates, complemented by sightings of other wildlife and vibrant bird species.

Sundown by the Lake: As the day concludes, enjoy a tranquil sunset by the shores of Lake Tanganyika, reflecting on the unique experiences and primate interactions that have unfolded. Retreat to your accommodation, tucked within the natural beauty of Gombe, for an evening of relaxation and starlit skies.

Day 2: Mahale Mountains National Park – Chimpanzee Odyssey

Scenic Boat Transfer: Embark on a scenic boat transfer from Gombe to Mahale Mountains National Park, cruising along the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika. This journey itself is a spectacle, offering panoramic views of the mountains and the vastness of the lake.

Chimpanzee Trekking in Mahale: Upon arrival in Mahale, immerse yourself in a chimpanzee trekking experience. The forested slopes provide a backdrop for close encounters with these intelligent beings. Observe their social dynamics, playfulness, and perhaps witness their natural communication. The experienced guides enhance the understanding of these remarkable creatures and their ecosystems.

Farewell to the Primates: Bid farewell to the chimpanzees and Mahale’s breathtaking scenery. The safari concludes with a boat transfer back to Kigoma, where you can either depart for your onward journey or extend your stay to explore more of Tanzania.
