I told Joshua what I was looking for, he proposed a program and a reasonable price and we quickly had a deal. I booked a 4-day safari to Gombe NP and it was totally worth it. Seeing the chimps was an amazing experience — absolutely unforgettable.
Excellent experience going on safari in Gombe. The trip started in Kigoma town where we got on a boat on gorgeous Lake Tanganyika and headed to Gombe to start chimpanzee tracking. The whole experience was awesome and worth every penny. The owner Nahum Joshua also made the trip fun and exciting.
