About the place
Discover Gombe Stream National Park
In 1960 a young Jane Goodall arrived at Gombe to study its chimpanzees. Her discoveries — that chimps make and use tools — changed how the world understands our closest relatives, and her research there continues today.
Gombe became a national park in 1968. It is the smallest national park in Tanzania, and there are no roads: you arrive by boat from Kigoma.
What you will see
- Wild chimpanzees
