Overview

This chimpanzee 4 days tour to Gombe Stream National Park is ideal for travelers who want to experience the chimpanzee trekking. Gombe is the smallest of Tanzania’s national parks. The major attraction of the Gombe Stream is the chimpanzees, made famous by Jane Goodall in 1960 when she established the area as a chimpanzee research station. Despite its tiny size of only 52 sq km, it’s a magnificent, dense tropical forest rising steeply from Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania. It is a park without roads, where you can walk and experience nature with all your senses.
