8 DAYS CHIMPANZEE SAFARI GOMBE STREAM + MAHALE MOUNTAINS
This is a perfect safari combination to see chimpanzee up close in western Tanzania. Gombe Stream National Park is the famous place where Jane Goodall did her research on chimpanzee populations. It is located on the western border of Tanzania and the Congo, and it has 35 km² of protected land along the hills of the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. Mahale Mountains National Park is located close by, south of the city of Kigoma. It is the only place where chimpanzees and lions co-exist.
This private safari offers you the flexibility to travel at your own pace, exactly the way you like it. You will have a private safari vehicle and guide. This itinerary is only available in one class.

-
- Dry Season (June to October & December to February): These months are ideal for safaris and beach visits due to the pleasant weather and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. However, expect higher hotel rates and more crowded parks and attractions.
-
- Mid Season (March & November): This period offers a balance of moderate hotel rates and fewer tourists. The weather can be variable, and some attractions might have limited availability (due to rains), but you still get great wildlife sightings and a more relaxed safari experience.
-
- Wet Season (April & May): Perfect for budget-conscious travelers, the low season features the lowest hotel rates and the least crowded parks. The heavy rains make the scenery vibrant and lush, but travel plans can be affected by the weather.
