Home of the Chimpanzees
Gombe Stream National Park, located on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania, covers just 52 km² yet it holds one of the world’s greatest treasures: the wild chimpanzees made famous by Dr. Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research.
Set between steep valleys, waterfalls, and the crystal waters of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe offers an unparalleled experience walking through lush forests as chimpanzees swing above you, calling to one another across the canopy.
