OVERVIEW

Tour Description

Gombe Chimps Tracking is a beautiful and unique adventure as it is among the few places in the world where chimpanzees can be seen in their natural habitat. Till this time there are no roads established to Gombe National Park so visitors can only reach the park by boat. Among the attractions for Gombe Stream National Park are the Chimpanzees, beautiful landscapes, and the Kakombe waterfalls. Each day you will trek into the forest to observe these animated primates at play.

    The Perfect Tanzania Safari Experience

    We had an amazing experience with this company from start to finish and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania. Joseph was always quick to respond to our questions, very friendly, and completely transparent with pricing. The rates were fair and competitive, and there were no hidden surprises. All of the accommodations exceeded our expectations—they were comfortable, well-located, and added so much to the overall experience.

    Well coordinated, great guides, and support staff.

    Tanzania Inside and Safari arranged our 8-day climb to Mt. Kilimanjaro on the Rongai Route. The guides were experienced, considerate and compassionate. The chef and waiter were great at make sure our meals were nutritious and wholesome every meal. The tent team and the porters were excellent too: always on time and perfectly set every day. On the summit day, Andrew, the guide, was the reason a team member who was unlikely to make it made it to Uhuru Peak, made it.

    An Unforgettable Journey – Highly Recommended!

    Our trip through Tanzania was absolutely amazing and very individually tailored to us. The agency organized everything for us during our stay: accommodations, transfers, domestic flights, activities and, of course, the guides. From the beginning, we felt that our wishes were truly taken into account. What we appreciated most was the individual way the activities were planned. Even in places with many tourists, the team always found a way to create special experiences for us.
