Gombe Stream National Park

With lush forest and a fascinating diversity of animals, Gombe stream National Park is home to one of the most beautiful and stunning natural forests in Tanzania. Stop at this park for an amazing chimpanzee trek. Chimpanzees are known to be the species of primates closest to humans, sharing 98% of the genes that we also have. Efforts to conserve the chimps are widely acknowledged and supported. The Jane Goodall Foundation plays a big role in the conservation of the Chimpanzees here as well as the gorillas in Uganda. Here, you will also find troops of olive baboons, red-tailed and red Colobus monkeys, which stick to the forest canopy due to being regularly hunted by the forest chimps, as well as more than 200 birds species.

Mahale Mountains National Park

Mahale Mountains National Park, with its rainforest-covered mountains, lies on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. In this protected area, there are no roads for chimpanzees. The only way to get in and out of the park is by boat across the lake.

Activities
In Mahale Mountains National Park, you travel by boat or on foot. In this remote place you go looking for chimpanzees and enjoy the beautiful Lake Tanganyika in peace; from the beach, your boat or snorkeling.

Chimpanzee safari
Watching chimpanzees is an incredible experience. When you are face to face with a chimpanzee, you can clearly see how smart and thoughtful they are. Depending on the season, chimpanzees are high in the mountains, or low and close to the shores of the lake so you don’t have to walk a long distance. Chimpanzees are very active and a walk through these forests can be tiring. Sometimes, you follow them through these dense forests. It’s therefore important to have a knowledgeable guide. After locating the group, the guides at the lodge know in which direction to go.
