Overview

Although the Chimpanzees are the Gombe’s primary attraction there are many other primates, and mammals to be seen. The bird-life in Gombe is extraordinary, as there is a great crossover of East African grassland birds and West African forest species. A trek to Gombe National Park and Mahale is a perfect choice for those intrepid travelers who wish to experience remoteness and unspoiled wilderness.
