About Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania

Gombe Stream lies at the northern end of Lake Tanganyika. The park’s forested mountain slopes, which help define the [link]Great Rift Valley[link] are home to chimpanzees that Jane Goodall studies. Though Goodall has invested more time studying Gombe Stream’s chimp population than anyone alive, visitors can discover these fascinating creatures for themselves. The chimps are accustomed to humans and therefore somewhat approachable.
