Welcome to Gombe National Park

Discover Gombe National Park – The Land of Chimpanzees

Located along the shores of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania, Gombe is one of Africa’s most unique and intimate wildlife destinations. Although it’s the smallest national park in Tanzania, Gombe is world-famous for its chimpanzees and the groundbreaking research led by Dr. Jane Goodall.

Gombe offers a rare opportunity to trek through lush forests and observe wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat. If you’re seeking a safari experience that’s off the beaten path, Gombe delivers unforgettable encounters and breathtaking scenery.

A Haven for Chimpanzee Tracking at Gombe National Park

The highlight of any visit to Gombe is chimpanzee tracking. Guided by experienced trackers, you’ll hike through dense forest trails in search of these fascinating primates. As you observe their behavior up close, you’ll witness the social bonds, communication, and intelligence that make them so similar to humans.

In addition to chimpanzees, Gombe is also home to red colobus monkeys, olive baboons, forest birds, and bushpigs. Furthermore, the park’s forested hills offer stunning views of Lake Tanganyika — one of the world’s deepest and clearest freshwater lakes.

A Remote Yet Rewarding Adventure at Gombe National Park

Reaching Gombe National Park requires a boat ride from Kigoma, adding a sense of adventure from the start. However, the journey is well worth it. The park’s remote location keeps visitor numbers low, allowing for a quiet and personal connection with nature.

Because of its unique ecosystem and scientific significance, Gombe is a must-visit for wildlife lovers, nature photographers, and conservation enthusiasts.
