Places To Visit In Gombe

Welcome to Gombe Stream

Gombe Stream National Park is a small but iconic protected area and one of the remarkable Tanzania Destinations located in western Tanzania along the shores of Lake Tanganyika. Established in 1968, the park covers an area of approximately 56 square kilometers and is renowned for its population of chimpanzees, made famous by the groundbreaking research conducted by primatologist Jane Goodall. Gombe Stream is one of the few places in the world where visitors can observe wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat, offering a unique and immersive wildlife experience.

Gombe Stream National Park

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Gombe Stream National Park is during the dry season, which typically occurs from June to October. During this period, the weather is mild, with clear skies and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for trekking and wildlife viewing. Additionally, the dry season coincides with the peak tourist season, offering optimal conditions for exploring the park's attractions and observing chimpanzee behaviour. It's essential to note that chimpanzee sightings are not guaranteed, as they are wild animals and their movements can be unpredictable.

Wildlife

  • Chimpanzees: Gombe Stream is home to a population of habituated chimpanzees, allowing visitors the rare opportunity to observe these intelligent primates up close. Guided walks led by experienced trackers offer the chance to witness chimpanzee behaviour, including feeding, grooming, and social interactions.
  • Red Colobus Monkeys: The park is also inhabited by populations of red colobus monkeys, an endangered species endemic to the region. These striking primates can often be seen swinging through the trees and foraging for food in the forest canopy.
  • Olive Baboons: Olive baboons are another common sight in Gombe Stream National Park, often seen roaming the forest floor in search of fruits, seeds, and insects.
  • Birdlife: While the park is primarily known for its primates, Gombe Stream is also home to a diverse array of bird species, including kingfishers, hornbills, and African fish eagles. Birdwatching opportunities abound along the shores of Lake Tanganyika and within the park's lush forests.
