Chimpanzee Experience

Where Chimpanzee Experience operates

Chimpanzee Experience runs trips across 5 destinations in Tanzania, covering the Western Tanzania, Zanzibar Archipelago, and Tabora Region. Each park has its own character — from open savannas and forested escarpments to coastal reefs — and Chimpanzee Experience tailors itineraries around what you most want to see.

• Gombe · Western Tanzania — Jane Goodall's chimpanzee research site — the world's most famous chimp habitat on Lake Tanganyika.
• Mahale Mountains · Western Tanzania — Chimpanzee trekking on the shores of Lake Tanganyika — one of the most intimate wildlife encounters in Africa.
• Zanzibar · Zanzibar Archipelago — Turquoise waters, spice farms, and a UNESCO World Heritage Stone Town — Tanzania's island paradise.
• Ugalla River National Park · Tabora Region — A vast, remote miombo wilderness in western Tanzania — wild dogs, lions, and hippo-lined rivers far from any tourist circuit, for travellers who want Africa completely to themselves.
• Katavi · Western Tanzania — Tanzania's wildest secret — massive hippo pools, enormous buffalo herds, and virtually no other tourists.
