Gombe National Park
This Park is situated a few kilometers north of Kigoma town in the western part of Tanzania . Gombe is a narrow strip of a new strip of a mountainous country bounded to the east by the crest of the Rift Valley escarpment and by Lake Tanganyika to the west. Gombe has a unique beauty as it is a perk without roads, where you can in fact walk and experience nature with all your senses.
Common mammals found on this park are mostly forest species mostly primates, namely Chimpanzees, baboons, blue monkeys, red tailed monkeys and red colobus.
In true sense this park is indeed an island of wilderness surrounded on three sides by cultivated land and on the north by lake Tanganyika.
We regret the inconvenience caused by the unfortunate events over the last days at all entry points of the Tanzania National Parks. The events were caused due to a unilateral decision by TANAPA to revise the concession fees and its payment modalities, which were not in accordance with existing written agreements between the various parties. We as the Tourism Confederation Tanzania (TCT), the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) and the Hotels Association of Tanzania (HAT) have made various appeals to the authorities during the past few weeks to prevent this crisis and have now initiated a dialogue with TANAPA (Tanzania National Parks) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism to resolve the matter. We hope that further inconvenience to our guests can be avoided. We want to thank everybody for their cooperation, patience and understanding during these very unfortunate events, which we trust will not reoccur. We are committed to the continued development of Tanzania as a quality tourism destination.

TATO STRATEGIC PLAN
for Public
Tuesday, 04 May 2010 17:53
The Strategic Plan has considered the need for TATO as a member based organization to effectively provide quality services to meet the needs of its members. The Plan recognizes the need for TATO to fully address itself to the following three major objectives set out in its Constitution:
To facilitate members to provide marketable tourist services;
To act as a link between members and government; and
To coordinate members.
In order to focus its current and future activities TATO identified that it was in the business of awareness creation.
Travellers to Tanzania are advised to Contract Safari's with licensed Tour Operators only. Any traveller who contracts Safari with Unlicensed Operator is doing so at his/her own risk. Our members meet high standards of quality and service. They pledge to adhere to our Code of Ethics, and to truthfully and accurately present to you, the customer, all information, terms and conditions relating to tours and vacation packages.
In addition, they know the country very well and have good connections with businesses across the entire tourism industry.
Thus, when you contact a TATO member, you know you get the best in safaris, rangers, mountain guides, hotels, air arrangements, and other activities - all combined together to form a vacation that's completely tailored to your needs. With TATO members, you can rest assured that you are getting the best, and most reliable, vacation in Tanzania!
