Gombe National Park

Gombe National Park is a small but world-famous park located along the shores of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania. It is renowned as the place where renowned primatologist Jane Goodall conducted her groundbreaking research on wild chimpanzees, making it a vital site for wildlife conservation and primate study. The park’s dense forests provide a natural habitat for chimpanzees, baboons, and other primates, as well as a variety of bird species and diverse plant life. Visitors can enjoy guided chimpanzee trekking tours that offer a rare opportunity to observe these intelligent animals in their natural environment. Despite its small size, Gombe National Park offers a unique and intimate wildlife experience far from the more common safari circuits.
