Track wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. Explore Jane Goodall’s legacy, forest hikes, and Lake Tanganyika’s beauty in this unique safari experience.
Gombe Stream is a one-of-a-kind destination that brings you face to face with wild chimpanzees and lets you walk through living primate history. It’s off the beaten path, but for those who make the journey, it’s an unforgettable experience full of emotion, nature, and meaning.
Tucked away on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania, Gombe Stream National Park is small in size but massive in significance. This is where Dr. Jane Goodall carried out her groundbreaking research on wild chimpanzees, changing the way the world understands our closest relatives.
Covering just 52 sq km, Gombe is the smallest national park in Tanzania, but it offers something truly rare: close encounters with wild chimpanzees in their natural forest home. Reaching Gombe is an adventure in itself—there are no roads in or out, and the only way to access the park is by boat from Kigoma.
The main attraction here is chimpanzee trekking. Guided hikes take you deep into the forest, where you can spend up to an hour observing the famous Gombe chimps up close—watching them feed, groom, play, and interact just like humans.
Other highlights include:
🐒 Red-tailed monkeys, olive baboons, and colobus monkeys
🦜 Over 200 bird species, including fish eagles and palm-nut vultures
🐍 Reptiles and butterflies, plus occasional sightings of bush pigs and small antelopes
🥾 Hiking to Jane Goodall’s research center, the Kakombe Waterfall, and scenic forest viewpoints
It’s a hiker’s paradise, and every walk through Gombe feels like a mini jungle expedition.
What sets Gombe apart is its intimate chimp experience, the historic legacy of Jane Goodall, and its lush, untouched beauty. Unlike most national parks in Tanzania, Gombe doesn’t allow vehicles—so everything is done on foot. That creates a personal, immersive experience in one of the most biodiverse forest environments in the country.
And being on the edge of Lake Tanganyika, the world’s second deepest lake, gives you the chance to combine forest trekking with beach time, kayaking, or snorkeling—yes, really!
Gombe is open year-round, but the experience changes with the seasons:
July to October (Dry Season): Best for chimp trekking—easier trails, fewer mosquitoes, and chimps stay closer to camp.
November to April (Green Season): Lush and beautiful, with excellent birding and fewer tourists. Trails may be muddy but still rewarding.
May to June: Shoulder season—great balance of green beauty and active chimps.
