Tanzania's Western Safari Circuit.Western Tanzania is the least visited part of Tanzania but perhaps the most interesting for travelers with a sense of adventure. Western Tanzania is also where you can see chimpanzees in their natural habitat. There are Three parks Katavi,Gome and Mahale but you can see chimpanzees in two parks (Gombe Stream National Park) and Mahale Mountain National Park) but note that children under 10 are usually not allowed to track these primates. You should budget at least 9 days and more to visit western Tanzania's parks.
Best time to Visit the Western Tanzania Circuit. The best time to visit National parks in Western Tanzania is during the dry season (June - November) because the roads within the National parks are passable. The dry season also means that the game is more concentrated around the rivers that run through these vast parks, thus making it easier to spot wildlife. When viewing chimpanzees though, the wet-season (December to April) makes it a little easier to find the chimps since they don't have to roam too far to getwater.
