Itinerary

Arrival in Gombe

Gombe Stream

Your Gombe trip starts with a flight to Kigoma, then a boat ride across Lake Tanganyika to the park. After settling in and lunch, you'll receive a briefing before your first chimpanzee trek. Explore the forest with a guide, observing the habituated chimps and learning about their lives. The trek length varies. End your day with an optional swim in Lake Tanganyika, followed by dinner and overnight stay.

Extended Chimpanzee Tracking

Gombe Stream

After an early breakfast, spend a full day tracking chimpanzees for extended observation. Explore Gombe's rich biodiversity, spotting other primates and various birds. Hike to Jane's Peak for panoramic views, then relax with a swim at Kakombe Waterfalls. The afternoon offers leisure for swimming, bird watching, or an optional boat safari on Lake Tanganyika. Enjoy dinner and overnight at your lodge.

Morning Activity & Departure

After a relaxed breakfast, enjoy your final morning activity: either a last forest hike for more wildlife viewing or swimming/snorkeling in Lake Tanganyika. Following checkout and lunch, take a scenic boat transfer back to Kigoma, then head to the airport for your flight to Dar es Salaam or your next destination.
