Tanzania:
Gombe Stream National Park
Gombe is the smallest of Tanzania's national parks, but thanks to the world renowned zoologist Dr Jane Goodall, it is one of the best known. Despite its size, Gombe National Park is one of the most beautiful areas in Tanzania. Covered mainly in dense tropical forest, the park stretches out to the coast, making it a haven for all manner wildlife, with a particularly stunning array of birdlife.
This is one of the few areas in Africa which harbours the rare Chimpanzees, and from 1960, Goodall and colleagues lived among the Gombe chimpanzees, making significant contributions to the study of primates.
The other primates found in the park include: baboon, red colobus, red-tail and blue monkey. You can also spot bushbuck and bush pig and grey duiker. The lake shore is home to the pied and giant kingfishers, the crowned eagle, the African broadbill, Ross's turaco and the trumpeter hornbill.
Hiking and swimming are also popular activities here, once the day’s expedition to see the chimpanzees is over.
