You can spend hours walking in the bush with your guide, learning about birds, insects, wildlife footprints or plants for medical use. Overnight stay in Grumeti Serengeti River lodge (eco-lodge, *****).

The Grumeti Game Reserve National Park, in the north-west on the border of the Serengeti, was established in 1994 to protect wildlife migration and its ecosystem, as it is an important wildlife corridor. In 2002, the Grumeti Community and Wildlife Conservation Foundation, now known as the Grumeti Foundation, won the rights to protect the 350,000-hectare natural area. The Grumeti Game Reserve is known for its enormously large lion groups of 20 to 60 lions. There's a good chance you'll see lots of lions, but you'll also often be alone in the area. Game drives can be done during the day or even at night, and as you are allowed to go off-road, there is a high chance that you will spot lots of wildlife.

• City tour of Dar es Salaam in the afternoon (2 hours)

In the morning you will be picked up from the hotel and taken to the airport. From there you fly to Kigoma, close to Gombe Stream National Park. Once there, you will be picked up from the airport and driven to the Kigoma Hilltop Hotel (20 minutes), where you can enjoy your lunch. In the afternoon, a boat from the hotel will take you to Mbali Mbali Gombe Lodge (2 hours). In the evening, one of the staff members from the Gombe Stream Research Center will sit down with you over dinner to explain the work with the chimpanzees and the activities of the Gombe Stream Research Center. Overnight at Mbali Mbali Gombe lodge.

Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania is home to the Kasakela chimpanzees. Dr. Jane Goodall has spent almost 30 years in the area observing chimpanzee behaviour in the wild. The chimpanzees Greybeard and Flo have become world-famous as a result. Jane Goodall's work was groundbreaking because she was the first to observe how chimpanzees create tools to obtain food. In addition, her observations led to the insight that chimpanzees are animals with feelings and that there is a very complex sense of community within the group.

Today you will see chimpanzees in the wild! You can walk through the rainforest either in the morning, in the afternoon or all day, of course accompanied by one of the rangers (minimum age for participants: 15 years old). The rangers will help you spot the chimpanzees. During the tour you can also visit Kakombe Waterfall and Jane Goodall's feeding centre. Although chimpanzee sightings are the highlight of this tour, you will also see other primates such as blue monkeys, vervet monkeys, red-tailed monkeys or olive baboons. Gombe Stream National Park has an additional 200 species of birds and 11 species of snakes. Overnight stay at Mbali Mbali Gombe Lodge (***).

Today you will visit one of the nearby fishing villages by boat, where you can see local activities such as fishing, embroidery, and boat building and visit the local chief. You will also witness the traditional Ha dance. In the afternoon you can relax or go again on a hike in the rainforest (price on request). Overnight stay at Mbali Mbali Gombe Lodge (***).

Founded during Jane Goodall's revolutionary discoveries, the Gombe Stream Research Centre is an active research site for monitoring chimpanzees in the wild. Over the years, staff has recorded entire life phases of chimpanzees and baboons, from birth to death, as well as during migration. Today, they continue to collect data on the behaviour, health and social interactions between individual chimpanzees.

We can extend this trip with an offer to Zanzibar. There are several eco-lodges in Zanzibar, such as Sunshine Marine Lodge (****) and the Chumbe Island eco-lodge (*****). Your booking directly supports the preservation of the ecosystem and educational projects on site.
We look forward to hearing from you!
