About the Journey
Chimpanzee viewing in Gombe and Mahale National Parks offers an immersive experience in the natural habitat of these fascinating creatures. The primary activity involves trekking through pristine forests guided by a park ranger or experienced guide. Moderate fitness suffices, with a minimum age of 12 and health prerequisites due to the chimps' vulnerability to diseases. Beyond chimpanzees, enjoy rich wildlife, including red-tailed and gentle blue monkeys. Tranquil afternoons are free of technological distractions, offering activities like dhow sailing, birdwatching, and deep-water swims. Kayaking options and visits to a remote village add to the serene experience, prompting guests to extend their stay beyond the typical three or four nights.
