Elisabeth arranged for a day visit for us to Gombe National Park. $300 USD each for boat transport (2hrs each way), hot cooked breakfast and lunch, park fees and ranger guide. Elisabeth does a great job taking care of all the details for you and Esther is a super cook. We had an experienced guide, Paolo, and hiked with him for about 5 hours but unfortunately we never saw a chimp. We understand it's nature, not a zoo, but were still disappointed. Be prepared if the chimps are not close to camp for some steep rocky hiking, 500 meter ascent in an hour. It is a beautiful rain forest park. In retrospect, we should have done the two day trip for a little more and had the opportunity for a second trek.
