Jane Goodall Tour in Tanzania

Be prepared for the experience of a lifetime. 

Gaze in awe at the majestic mountain that is Kilimanjaro as you approach the airport. 

After you collect your bags, your driver will meet and deliver you to your accommodations, a permanent camp of small bedroom huts centered around a communal kitchen. The compound is surrounded by a natural bamboo wall which helps keep the ecological balance between humans and animals

Your camp cook will prepare your meals so you can spend as much time as possible exploring this wonderful place.

Begin your journey at the Gombe Stream Research Center. Explore how scientists research the chimpanzees Jane Goodall first encountered over 60 years ago. Marvel in how they study these intelligent, resourceful and social primates.

Jane Goodall studied the Kasakela community of chimpanzees which still inhabit Gombe Stream National Park. The park is home to over 100 chimps, and visitors may trek into Gombe to observe their interactions. 

This expedition will be your first foray into the chimpanzee community. Your guide has a great love of these chimps and will share his extensive knowledge with your group exclusively.

Mahale Mountain National Park has a much larger concentration of chimpanzee occupants, over 800, who reside deep in the Tanzania wilderness. Today you’ll be tackling some steep trails. You know you have found the group by the extremely loud hoots and screams you hear before you can even see them! Here you can view pods of chimps playing, grooming, eating and hanging around!

After the physical trek yesterday, today you can ride. Your expert guide will take you on your customized safari. Whether you prefer incredible scenery or wildlife encounters, you can design your dream day safari.

In the very early morning, the birds are active. It is the perfect time for bird listening and watching. Your guide will help you identify unique local birds by their songs, including the brightly colored Fischer’s lovebird, red-and-yellow barbet, Hartlaub’s turaco, and the ashy starling along with many more. Bring your binoculars and camera, as there’s a lot to see.

This afternoon, check back in on the Kasakela community of chimpanzees. Watch them interact and experience the love Jane had for these human-like primates.

If you are extending your stay to climb Kilimanjaro, today is your first day of climbing preparation. You will pack out of camp and move to the base lodge at Kilimanjaro to begin your six-day climbing trek.

If you are packing out tomorrow, you can spend the day revisiting one of the chimpanzee camps, explore on a photography safari or a big cat adventure.

Sadly the time has come to leave this magical, mysterious place. Say your goodbyes and head to the airport for your international flight home and onward journey.
