About this Journey

Embark on a western Tanzania safari that takes you deep into the remote wilderness of Katavi National Park, where massive herds roam the savannah and pristine rivers wind through untouched landscapes. After exhilarating game drives, you’ll travel to Gombe National Park on the shores of Lake Tanganyika for a rare chimpanzee trekking experience made famous by Dr Jane Goodall. Throughout the journey, knowledgeable local guides share insights into the region's wildlife, culture and conservation efforts, ensuring each moment feels authentic and immersive. This five‑day itinerary blends adventure, discovery and tranquillity, offering a truly unique glimpse of Tanzania’s hidden treasures. Sunset evenings are spent around campfires, where you can taste traditional Tanzanian dishes and share stories with fellow travellers, while the night sounds of the wilderness create a magical backdrop.
