Best Time to Visit
The best time for a Gombe Stream safari is the dry season (June to October), ideal for chimpanzee trekking due to easier hiking conditions and clear forest trails. The short dry season (January-February) offers pleasant weather and fewer crowds, while the green season (March-May) provides lush landscapes but may involve wetter trails. As of today, July 25, 2025, 1:54 PM EAT, the dry season ensures optimal trekking conditions and birdwatching opportunities in Gombe.
Why Choose Gombe Stream National Park?
-
Gombe Stream National Park: Tanzania’s smallest park (52 km²), Gombe is renowned for Jane Goodall’s chimpanzee research. Accessible by boat from Kigoma, it offers intimate chimpanzee trekking in a lush forest along Lake Tanganyika, with additional sightings of baboons, red colobus monkeys, and over 200 bird species.
