Gombe Stream Tented Camp is located close to the
Gombe Stream National Park headquarters on
the shore of the Mitumba stream. Spacious white sandy beach, big shady
trees and remarkable views over the clear waters of Lake Tanganyika,
especially at sunset, make this the perfect camp location.
The camp features large Meru-style tents on low wooden
platforms, all clustered in a patch of forest beside the shore. A
small reception area is situated on the beach on a wooden deck under a
thatched roof and also accommodates a library, information centre,
curio shop, bar and lounge. The kitchen and staff area is situated a
small distance from the camp so as not to interfere with the sights
and sounds of nature.
Breakfasts are American style with emphasis on tropical fruits and
juices, lunches are usually light, and three course evening meals are
a combination of tasty traditional dishes and fresh fish from Lake
Tanganyika.
The spacious tents face the lake on raised wooden platforms and are
adequately spaced apart to ensure privacy. Decorated in a distinct
African style with locally produced furniture, you definitely feel
like you are on safari. The deck has two comfortable safari chairs and
a small table, which enables you to have a perfect view of the lake
and sunsets. After a day of climbing hills tracking chimpanzees you
can relax on your deck or beside a campfire on the beach for
sundowners and snacks.
