Mbali Mbali Gombe Forest Lodge

About

Mbali Mbali Gombe Forest Lodge is an intimate, eco-friendly lodge nestled along the shoreline of Lake Tanganyika within the remote Gombe Stream National Park, in western Tanzania. This secluded retreat offers just 7 luxurious forest tents built on wooden platforms beneath a lush tropical canopy, each with en-suite bathrooms, solar-powered lighting, and private decks with lake views. Accessible only by boat from Kigoma, the lodge is the perfect base for one of Africa’s most unique experiences: trekking through the forest to observe the world-famous Gombe chimpanzees, a legacy of Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research. Guests can also enjoy guided forest walks, birdwatching, fishing, kayaking, and relaxing by the lake. All meals are freshly prepared, and the lodge’s commitment to sustainability and community upliftment enhances its authentic charm. Ideal for nature lovers, primate enthusiasts, and adventure seekers, Mbali Mbali Gombe offers a truly immersive experience in one of Tanzania’s most iconic and untouched environments.
