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:

* Chimpanzee trekking experiences in the dense forests
* Visits to the Jane Goodall Institute research station

Extend Your Safari: Explore More of Western Tanzania & Beyond
Make the most of your East African adventure by extending your journey beyond Gombe. At Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, we offer customized itineraries that include:

1. Mahale Mountains National Park
Just south of Gombe, Mahale is another chimpanzee haven, less frequented but incredibly rewarding. It also offers the chance to hike majestic mountains and relax on secluded beaches.

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.

3. Cross-Border Safari into Burundi
For adventurous travelers, we offer cross-border extensions into Burundi, one of East Africa’s least-explored countries. Highlights include:

* Rusizi National Park (home to hippos and crocodiles)
* Kigwena Forest Reserve for more primate viewing
