Trekking in Gombe National Park

Today is the day for your once-in-a-lifetime experience of tracking mountain chimpanzees in the Gombe Mountains. In the early morning, you will have breakfast and then the rangers will give you a briefing on the chimp trekking procedures before you set off into the mountains.

The trek which can take up to eight hours in the wild, is worth the effort. You'll be walking through forests, up hills and into valleys, which can be tiring and challenging, so come prepared for the trek.

Once you locate a group of chimps, you'll stop and spend some time with these gentle primates. You'll watch as they groom, feed and interact with each other in their natural habitat. Coming face-to-face with a group of chimpanzees is one of the most special and rare wildlife encounters on earth!

After your close encounter with the apes, you'll trek back to the start of the trail and return to your accommodation. You will have dinner and relax, taking it easy after an exhilarating day of chimpanzee trekking.
