Gombe Stream Chimp Safari

Overview

Gombe Stream is home to one of the last remaining wild populations of chimpanzees on the continent. Founded by Jane Goodall, the refuge encompasses a thin strip of rain forest on the shores of the emerald colored Lake Tanganyika. The forested shores are also home to red colobus, red-tail and blue monkeys. The dense vegetation makes it unsuitable habitat for carnivores, so you are able to take long walks and hikes throughout the reserve, led by rangers and park researchers who study the chimps and track their daily movements.
