Gombe is the smallest of Tanzania National Parks, a fragile strip of chimpanzee habitat straddling the steep slopes and river valleys that hems in the sandy northern shoes of Lake Tanganyika.
Its chimpanzee-habituated to human visitors – were made famous by the pioneering work of Dr Jane Goodall, who in 1960 founded a behavioural research program that now stands as the longest running study of its King in the world.
