Introduction

This 13-day Tanzania adventure blends the iconic experiences of a safari in the Serengeti with remote chimpanzee encounters in Gombe Stream National Park and Rubondo Island. Starting in Dar es Salaam, the journey takes you from the vast plains of Serengeti National Park to the remote, forested islands and shores of Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika. Highlights include world-class game viewing in the Serengeti, followed by intimate chimpanzee trekking on Rubondo Island — a tranquil forested sanctuary in Lake Victoria. The tour then continues to the dramatic shores of Lake Tanganyika and Gombe Stream National Park, the legendary site of Jane Goodall’s research, for unforgettable chimpanzee trekking in lush valleys. Perfect for travellers seeking a mix of iconic wildlife and meaningful, off-the-beaten-path encounters.
