Walking Safari in Tanzania
The beauty of Gombe Stream National Park is unique. It is a park without roads where you can walk and experience nature with all your senses. All game viewing at the park is done on foot. The biggest attraction of the park is the highly habituated chimpanzees, but there is a large number of olive baboons and different species of red colobus and blue monkeys. The park has roughly 100 to 150 chimpanzees. The birdlife is extra ordinary as more than 200 species of birds have been recorded at the park.
