Airport pickup and a night on the coast road.
A long light aircraft flight west, then a boat along the shore to camp.
Out with trackers after breakfast. Steep, humid, and unpredictable. One hour with the group when found.
A second attempt, because the group moves and yesterday may have been a long walk for a short view.
Swimming, kayaking and fishing on the clearest large lake in the world, or a third tracking attempt.
A last morning in the forest, then the afternoon on the water.
Boat and light aircraft back east to Dar.
City hotel · Dar es Salaam
Tented camp · Lake Tanganyika
Steep, hot and humid, on unmade forest trails, for anything from thirty minutes to four hours. Reasonable fitness is required.
Because one is a gamble. Over three mornings the odds go above ninety percent.
The park sets a minimum age of twelve for chimpanzee tracking.
Migration timing, off-season finds, and dispatches from our guides. About one note a month.
