Covering a mere 52 square kilometres of surface area, Gombe Stream National Park is Tanzania’s smallest park - but its prolific primate species, including chimpanzees, red colobus, red-tail and blue monkeys create a large stature. The park’s connection to Jane Goodall has given it worldwide renown, with the wild chimpanzee population at the heart of Goodall’s groundbreaking research. Accessible only by water from the town of Kigoma, the park’s dense forests are also inhabited by a myriad of avian species and offer phenomenal bird watching and walking safaris. Other popular activities include chimp tracking, lakeshore walks, taking in spectacular views from Jane’s Peak, and visiting the magnificent Kakombe Waterfall.
