Gombe Stream National Park

Gombe Stream National Park

Love & Dove Africa is in the business of creating exceptional African safari holidays.

The Gombe Stream National Park is located on the western border of Tanzania and the Congo. Established in 1968, It is one of the smallest national parks in Tanzania with only 35 km2 of protected land along the hills of the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. It is a famous place for those who want to see chimpanzees off the beaten track. Guided hikes take visitors into the forest to see chimpanzees in the wild. The area has steep valleys and the forest vegetation ranges from grassland to forest and tropical rainforest.

We hope our Gombe Stream National Park travel guide has inspired you to include this incredible national park in your Tanzanian adventure.

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Gombe Stream National Park is during the dry season, from June to September, and in January and February. These months offer pleasant weather, making it easier to navigate the trails and observe the chimpanzees. The wet season, from October to December and March to May, brings heavy rainfall and can make trekking challenging, but it also transforms the park into a lush, green paradise.

Activities

Gombe Stream National Park provides a range of activities that immerse visitors in the world of chimpanzees and the surrounding natural beauty:

Chimpanzee Trekking: The primary activity is trekking to observe and interact with the park's resident chimpanzee populations. Accompanied by knowledgeable guides, visitors embark on guided treks through the forest, witnessing the chimps in their natural habitat.

Wildlife

While the top attractions are the chimpanzees, Gombe Stream National Park is home to a diverse array of wildlife:

Chimpanzees: The main draw, Gombe's chimpanzees, have been habituated to human presence, allowing for close encounters. Witness their intricate social structures, tool usage, and the playful interactions that define their daily lives.
