Boat Transfer to Gombe & Chimpanzee Trekking Adventure

Your adventure begins with a scenic boat transfer from Kigoma across the sparkling waters of Lake Tanganyika to Gombe National Park. As you approach the park, lush forested mountains rising from the lakeshore offer a spectacular welcome to this world-renowned chimpanzee sanctuary.

Upon arrival, complete park formalities and receive a briefing from experienced guides before setting off on an exciting chimpanzee trekking adventure through the tropical rainforest. Follow forest trails in search of habituated chimpanzee families and enjoy the rare opportunity to observe these fascinating primates in their natural habitat.

After the trek, enjoy lunch while admiring beautiful lake views. Later, explore the park on a guided nature walk, where you may encounter baboons, red colobus monkeys, vervet monkeys, and colorful birdlife. Return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by the tranquil sounds of the forest and Lake Tanganyika.
