Gombe Stream National Park

Gombe Stream National Park is in Tanzania's Kigoma Region, and although it's one of the country's smallest parks at just 35 square kilometres, it's highly significant. This park is closely linked to the renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, whose groundbreaking research transformed our understanding of primates and wildlife conservation. The main highlight of the park is its population of wild chimpanzees,.

Gombe Stream National Park, situated on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, provides a special chance to see the Kasakela chimpanzee community. The park is also home to a lively primate population, including beachcomber olive baboons, red colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, blue monkeys, and vervet monkeys, along with various other wildlife. Guided hikes through the lush forests offer a fantastic opportunity to observe these intelligent and social creatures in their natural environment.
