Gombe Stream Reserve

Tanzania Safaris – GOMBE STREAM CHIMPANZEE RESERVE

Gombe Stream is Tanzania’s home of the world famous chimp reserve. It is located 16 km north of Kigoma on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania. There are plenty of baboons around, but the focal point of Gombe are the chimps.
The chimpanzee is an endangered species because of the rapid habitat destruction.
Only around 100,000 – 200,000 exist in the wild.
Chimpanzees are theoretically elusive giants and spotting them is largely matter of luck.
from the top of the 8000-ft mountains to the lakeshore at 2500 ft. However, the tour guides at the camp know the animals well and are nearly always in touch with their movements from day to day.
From Jane’s Peak you can see an astounding view of the entire park and Kakombe Waterfall.
For accommodation, Gombe has got one new luxury tented lodge, as well a self-catering hostel, guesthouse and campsites on the lakeshore.
