Overview

Discover the hidden wild side of Tanzania! Gombe National Park is famous for Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Project. Although the Chimpanzees are the Gombe’s primary attraction there are many other primates, and mammals to be seen. The bird-life in Gombe is extraordinary, as there is a great crossover of East African grassland birds and West African forest species. A trek to Gombe National Park and Mahale is a perfect choice for those intrepid travelers who wish to experience remoteness and unspoiled wilderness.
