Gombe National Park A Primate Paradise in Tanzania

Explore Gombe National Park: The Untamed Beauty of Tanzania with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours

Are you ready to walk in the footsteps of Jane Goodall and experience one of Africa’s most intimate wildlife encounters? Nestled on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe National Park is a hidden jewel in western Tanzania — famous for its wild chimpanzees and lush tropical forests. At Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, we invite you to embark on a life-changing safari that blends primate trekking, cultural discovery, and cross-border adventures.

Why Visit Gombe National Park?
Gombe is best known as the site where Dr. Jane Goodall began her pioneering chimpanzee research in 1960, offering the world a deeper understanding of our closest relatives. Today, the park is home to thriving chimpanzee families that roam freely in their natural habitat. With experienced guides, visitors can track these fascinating primates and observe them up close — a rare and humbling experience.

But Gombe offers more than just chimpanzees. The park is rich in biodiversity, featuring olive baboons, red colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and over 200 bird species. Set against the backdrop of Africa’s second-deepest lake, the scenic beauty of Gombe is perfect for photography, hiking, and nature lovers.

Our carefully designed Gombe packages include:

2. Kigoma Town & Historical Sites
Explore the cultural richness of Kigoma, visit the historic Ujiji town — where explorer Stanley met Livingstone — and enjoy a relaxing stay on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
