Situated on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania, Gombe Stream National Park is a haven for chimpanzees and other primates. Covering an area of just 52 square kilometres, this intimate park offers a unique opportunity to observe wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat, along with stunning views of the lake and surrounding forests.
Gombe Stream National Park, with its pioneering research and captivating primate encounters, remains a testament to the importance of conservation and understanding our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
Gombe Stream National Park Safari offers a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure.For more information about any of our Tanzania Safari Tours, please feel free to contact Tanzania Oribi Safaris.
Gombe Stream National Park is characterized by its dense tropical forests, rocky slopes, and sandy beaches along Lake Tanganyika. The park's terrain is rugged and hilly, with steep valleys and winding streams. The climate is typically hot and humid, with temperatures moderated by the lake's presence. The dry season, from June to October, offers clear skies and cooler temperatures, while the wet season, from November to May, brings occasional rain showers and lush vegetation.
The Best Time To Visit Gombe Stream National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, chimpanzees are more active and easier to spot, as they forage for food in the forest. Additionally, the dry season offers excellent hiking conditions and clear views of Lake Tanganyika. However, the park can get crowded during peak tourist season, so visiting during the shoulder months of November to May can provide a more tranquil experience.
Chimpanzees: Gombe Stream National Park is famous for its population of habituated chimpanzees, allowing visitors to observe these fascinating primates up close in their natural habitat.
Gombe Stream National Park is accessible by boat from the nearby town of Kigoma. Many visitors fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam and then take a connecting flight to Kigoma.
Chimpanzee Trekking: Go for a guided trek through the forest in search of wild chimpanzees, observing their behaviour and interactions in their natural habitat.
There is drama in Tanzania’s geography: the rolling plains of the Serengeti, snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro and the lush forests of the Ngorongoro Crater have all been recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
