Gombe Stream National Park
Gombe Stream National Park is located on the east bank of Lake Tanganyika, in the westernmost region of Tanzania. It is the smallest national park in Tanzania, covering an area of just 51 km². The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including chimpanzees, baboons, monkeys, and birds.
The park is named after the Gombe Stream, a river that flows through it. The river has carved deep canyons into the surrounding mountains, creating a unique landscape. The park's forests are home to a variety of plant species, including trees, shrubs, and vines.
Gombe Stream National Park is famous for its chimpanzee research. Jane Goodall began her research on chimpanzees in the park in 1960, and her work has helped us to understand these fascinating animals. The park is still home to a number of chimpanzee communities, and visitors can go on guided tours to see them in their natural habitat.
