A closer connection

The story of this place

Gombe Stream National Park is a small but world-renowned protected area on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania. Its steep forested hills, valleys and streams provide habitat for wild chimpanzees as well as olive baboons, red-tailed monkeys, blue monkeys and many forest birds. Gombe became internationally known through the long-term chimpanzee research and conservation work associated with Jane Goodall. Visitors can join guided forest walks to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat, following park rules designed to protect both people and wildlife. The journey by boat from Kigoma is part of the experience, with beautiful views across Lake Tanganyika.
