Gombe Stream National Park
Jane Goodall's pioneering chimp-research site on the shore of Lake Tanganyika.
Why Gombe Stream National Park
Gombe is Tanzania's smallest national park and the site where Jane Goodall began her ground-breaking chimpanzee research in 1960.
The Kasekela community is the most-studied chimp group in the world — and intensely habituated to human presence.
