Gombe Stream National Park: Home of Jane Goodall and Chimpanzees

Located on Tanzania’s western border along the scenic shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe Stream National Park is small (approx. 52 sq km) but internationally famous.

Established in 1968, the park gained global recognition due to the groundbreaking chimpanzee research conducted by renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall.

Today, Gombe remains a premier destination for primate enthusiasts. The lush forests and grasslands are home to its star residents—wild chimpanzees—along with red-tailed and blue monkeys, and diverse birdlife.

Visitors can enjoy a truly unique and intimate experience through guided primate tracking and hiking adventures, allowing them to observe one of humankind’s closest relatives in their undisturbed natural habitat.
