Trek into the Mahale mountain forest with expert trackers to find the habituated Mimikere chimpanzee community — around 60 individuals. The trek may last 2-6 hours depending on where the chimps are. Once found, spend one hour observing them. The forest is breathtaking — enormous fig trees, waterfalls, and mountain streams.
Second day of chimpanzee trekking in Mahale. Different day, different behaviors — you may witness chimps fishing for ants, cracking nuts, or grooming sessions. Afternoon swim in Lake Tanganyika's crystal-clear waters.
Morning boat transfer from Mahale north to Gombe Stream National Park via Kigoma (full day journey with stops). Arrive at Gombe and settle into the guesthouse. Evening walk along the lakeshore.
Trek into Gombe's forest to find the habituated chimpanzee community. Gombe's chimps have been studied since 1960 — they are among the most well-known wild chimps in the world. Spend one hour observing them. Afternoon forest exploration for red colobus monkeys and baboons.
Final chimpanzee trek at Gombe. Afternoon hike to the Kakombe waterfall and Jane Goodall's Peak viewpoint. Take in the panoramic views of Lake Tanganyika. Evening campfire dinner at the guesthouse.
