Gombe Stream National Park

Gombe Stream National Park

Famous as the site of Jane Goodall's pioneering chimpanzee research on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.

Gombe Stream National Park

Gombe Stream National Park is Tanzania's smallest park at just 52 square kilometers, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in significance. This is where Dr. Jane Goodall conducted her groundbreaking chimpanzee research starting in 1960. The park offers unique opportunities to track wild chimpanzees in their natural forest habitat along Lake Tanganyika's shores.

Walk in Jane Goodall's footsteps and observe wild chimpanzees in pristine forest.
