Tanzania Safari Tours & Africa Adventures
Track Tanzania's primates — chimpanzees at Mahale and Gombe, plus colobus, blue, and red-tailed monkeys across forest parks.
Tanzania is a primate-lover’s country, and a dedicated primate-tracking safari goes beyond the headline chimpanzees to seek out its wider primate diversity. The centrepiece is wild chimpanzee trekking at Mahale or Gombe on Lake Tanganyika, supplemented by sightings of red colobus, black-and-white colobus, blue monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, and bushbabies in the western and forest parks.
Led by specialist guides, it’s a focused, forest-based trip for naturalists who want depth — combining the profound experience of sitting with chimps with the broader richness of East Africa’s forest primates.

Seek colobus, blue, and red-tailed monkeys in the forests.
Expert guides interpret primate behaviour throughout.
A niche but deeply rewarding trip for genuine primate and wildlife enthusiasts — the chimp trekking alone justifies it, and the broader primate focus adds real depth. It's remote and premium, given the western parks involved. Casual safari-goers may prefer chimps as an add-on; enthusiasts will love the focus.
