Situated on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe Forest Lodge has been designed with every comfort in mind, whilst minimizing the disturbance and impact of such a stunning environment.

The camp’s spacious tents,set on wooden platforms are shaded by huge mango trees along the lakeshore, each tent featuring a writing desk and en-suite facilities with hot and cold running water. Chimpanzee trekking is generally conducted in the mornings, returning to camp for lunch. Afternoons are determined only by how energetic you feel.

You can choose between further chimpanzee trekking, swimming in the crystal waters of the lake, fishing, snorkeling or just relaxing. For the more adventurous there are two spectacular waterfalls in the area, Kakombe, an easy thirty minute walk away from camp and Mkenke, a little further for the more energetic.

After an enjoyable day dinner is served in the dining area that is just a couple of steps off the beach, gently lit with the twinkling lights of candles, this is true relaxation, before heading off to your ‘home from home’ bedroom in readiness for another day packed with adventure.
