Gombe National Park
Gombe National Park & Attractions
The Gombe National Park is located on the western border of Tanzania, along Lake Tanganyika and Rwanda. Established in 1968, It is one of the smallest national parks in Tanzania with only 35 square kilometers of protected land. It was made famous by Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research on chimpanzees, which she conducted here. For those who want to see chimps off the beaten track, guided hikes take visitors into the forest to see chimpanzees in the wild.
The area has steep valleys, vibrant rainforests and many streams which flow year-round.
Gombe Stream is one of the few places in the world where visitors can observe wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat, offering a unique and immersive wildlife experience.
The Best Time to Visit Gombe Stream National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, chimpanzees are more active and easier to spot, as they forage for food in the forest. Additionally, the dry season offers excellent hiking conditions and clear views of Lake Tanganyika.

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
