This extraordinary 7-day safari brings you to both of Tanzania's famous chimpanzee habitats — the remote Mahale Mountains and Jane Goodall's legendary Gombe Stream. The Mahale Mountains rise dramatically from the shores of Lake Tanganyika, sheltering one of the largest habituated chimpanzee communities in Africa. After trekking in Mahale's pristine forests, transfer to Gombe Stream for a second trekking experience in the park made famous by Goodall's groundbreaking research. Between treks, enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear lake, forest hikes for monkeys and birds, and the incomparable atmosphere of western Tanzania's wild frontier.
Arrive in Kigoma and transfer to the lake. Boat ride south to Mahale Mountains National Park (approximately 4-5 hours along the stunning Lake Tanganyika coastline). Arrive at the park and settle into your lakeside camp. Evening orientation and briefing.
