Gombe Stream National Park lies along the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. Its steep forested valleys are closely associated with long-running chimpanzee research. A visit combines guided forest time with the changing light and quiet shoreline of the lake.
Chimpanzee tracking involves walking on uneven ground and following park rules that protect wildlife. Leave room for more than a brief stop, with transfers and guiding arranged around your interests and the conditions on the day.
Best time to visit
Forest walking conditions and chimpanzee movements vary by season. Confirm tracking requirements and the right time for your visit.
