 Day to Day Itinerary

Day 1: Chimpanzee Tracking in Gombe Stream

The  guide picks you up from Kigoma Airport or your hotel in Kigoma and  transfers you to Kibirizi port where a private boat awaits to ferry you  to Kasekela entrance, the entry point to Gombe Stream National Park.  After park entry formalities, you will check-in in the accommodation,  relax on the shores of Lake Tanganyika as you wait for your lunch.

After midday lunch, you will start the first trek in search for  chimpanzees in Gombe mountains. The distance to be covered depends on  location of the primates families on that specific day. On encountering  the troop, you will observe the instructions of the ranger accompanying  you. Other primate species such as monkeys and baboons are also abundant  this national park.
Meals and overnights  at Kasekela mid-range tented camp or Gombe forest lodge 

Day 2: Chimpanzee and other primates Tracking in Gombe Stream

An  early breakfast will be served at Gombe Bandas before undertaking a  second Chimpanzee tracking across the valley of Gombe mountains. As per  the laws established, you will spend a maximum of one hour with the  chimpanzee per day and a distance of not closer than 10 meters. Because  of Chimpanzees' closeness to humans, they can easily contaminate  diseases from human beings, especially airborne diseases.

Depending on your interest, you will then proceed with the search across  the mountains. Primates, dense forest animals such as wild pigs, and  diverse bird species will be encountered. You can also challenge  yourselves to trek to Jane Goodall's peak.
 

Returning to the  lodge for lunch and then visiting Jane Goodall's research center to get  further information from the scientists about the life of interesting  primates.
The private boat will then drive you back to Kigoma Airport or your lodge in Kigoma town.
