Gombe national park

Track Wild Chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Most Exclusive Rainforest Sanctuary

Where Wilderness Meets the Soul, Discover the Magic of Gombe.

About Gombe National Park

Gombe is Tanzania’s smallest park but offers the world's most intimate wildlife encounter, famously serving as the exact wilderness where Dr Jane Goodall made her historic chimpanzee discoveries. Nestled along the wild shores of Lake Tanganyika, this hidden gem allows you to hike through lush rainforests guided by expert trackers to meet wild chimpanzee families face to face while hearing their pant-hoots echo through the mountain valleys. Your exclusive adventure goes beyond the dense canopy to include white sand beaches and clear lake waters where you can swim, kayak, or snorkel with brightly colored tropical fish before watching dramatic sunsets over the lake mountains.
