Where Jane Goodall Met the Chimpanzees

Small in size but rich in legacy, Gombe Stream National Park sits on the shores of Lake Tanganyika and holds a special place in the world of wildlife conservation. It’s here that Dr. Jane Goodall began her groundbreaking chimpanzee research in the 1960s — a study that continues today.

Visitors to Gombe can embark on guided chimpanzee treks, observing these fascinating primates up close as they go about their daily routines. The park’s forested hills are also home to olive baboons, red-tailed monkeys, and an impressive variety of bird species.
