One of the smallest and most remote national parks in Tanzania, Gombe is dedicated to the preservation of chimpanzees originally made famous by the primatologist Jane Goodall in the 1960s. Observe the excellent work of her foundation and encounter some of the most intensively studied chimpanzees, perhaps including Frodo, Freud and Gimli.
Rising from the banks of Lake Tanganyika and extending to the ridge of the Western Rift Valley, Gombe consists of thirteen steep-sided river valleys containing a wide range of habitats hosting many animals and plants not found anywhere else in Tanzania. The park is also home to olive baboons and red colobus, redtail and blue monkeys.
