Duration
4-Day
Gombe National Park, Tanzania
For safari lovers in Northern or Southern Tanzania, they may use this program to combine their safari experience with chimpanzee trekking at the end or beginning of their safari. Western Tanzania is the only chimpanzee home in Tanzania and the best place to do snorkeling in the big and deep Lake Tanganyika. Gombe National Park is home to chimpanzees, a park which is in the Western part of the country, where we mostly organize fly- in safari to save time.

5.0/5Best choice ever. Our tour was perfectly organized, the communication was very easy and all our questions were answered in advance. We got picked up from the airport and from there everything was so well organized: the lodges, the traveling, the guides were fantastic!!! (We had 2 guides, one for the north and one for central Tanzania, as this was their own region and they knew it so well). We felt so well supported, it was like a family. Even when we (unfortunately) got sick they were super helpful and we could continue the trip :) Don’t hesitate to book there, you won’t be disappointed!! And i highly recommend the longer tour combining Serengeti, Nogorongoro and Ruaha (if you want to see a much wilder park as well as the famous Serengeti) Thanks again to Sunday Safaris!!

Well organized from booking, customizing to accommodate my needs, assistance with flight planning, and scheduling. I traveled alone as a 75 year old and was grateful for my guide Sunday’s support and encouragement during our two week journey together. An amazing experience.

Sunday is absolutely an excellent driver and guide! We, a family of three, booked a 7 day/6nights safari: Lake Manyara, North and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater. Everything was super well organized and according to our wishes. We also wanted last minute to add a hot balloon ride, which was not problem to accommodate on the third day (BTW it was an incredible experience!). Accommodation was always very nice (The African Tulip, Marera Valley Lodge, Kati Kati camp, Baghayo Garden Suites) and service always top quality. We manage to see all the big five (something that is not always a given). In summary: - top service - competitive price (cheaper than other providers, and nice to have a child price reduction!) - very reliable (all queries and requests answered to very quickly and accommodated) - the tour was amazing! lots of animals and very nice to have a whole jeep to ourselves! We definitely recommend Sunday Safaris Ltd to everybody!

Sunday Safaries was very helpful in setting up our trip. Questions were answered very quickly and communication with Sunday Safaries was very good. The entire organization from booking, through airport pick up and drop off was smooth and well organized. Our guide Sunday was excellent and shared a lot of information about the animals, the park, culture and the country. We enjoyed 12 day safari greatly and had the opportunity to see a large number of animals. We are looking forward returning to Tanzania to explore more of the parks and country. We can highly recommend Sunday Safaries. Thank you for providing such a great experience!
