Location:- The famous Gombe Stream National Park lies 16 km north of the town of Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika. This is where Jane Goodall did her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees, and the 52 square km park is still a major research area. It consists of well-forested mountainous terrain and supports approximately 200 habituated chimpanzees. The forested stream lines flow from the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley into the waters of Lake Tanganyika, the second deepest lake in the world at 1 500 metres, which swarms with tropical fish. The ridges between the stream lines are miombo woodland. Many species of tree and butterflies (over 250 species) are relict populations of the West African rainforest, isolated by the formation of the Rift.
Gombe Stream Luxury Tented Camp is situated at Mitumba at the northern end of the park. The location is the best in the area – on the lakeshore with a spacious beach – and all the tents are under big shady trees.
Breakfasts and lunches are served in a small raised mess tent in the centre of the camp, dinners (the speciality being fish caught fresh in the lake by the local fishermen) are usually served on the beach under the night sky. All meals and park fees included.
