8 Days - Mahale/Gombe Stream Safari

This 8-day Chimpanzee Trekking tour will take you across Tanzania’s western circuit parks. Mahale Mountains and Gombe Stream National Parks are both bordered on the west by Lake Tanganyika, the world’s deepest lake. Three nights in Mahale and two nights in Gombe via Kigoma town should suffice to enjoy and explore the areas.

 

Lake Tanganyika and Chimpanzees are two of the most popular attractions in the area, which also has a range of resident animal species, as well as birds and reptiles.
