Gombe Stream National Park |
Famous for the research that Dr Jane Goodall has done here, this park was formed to preserve the small habitat that remains for the chimpanzees. With the small habitat though, the chimpanzees are relatively easy to be found. The park covers a mere 52 sq km. It is heavily forested, making it unsuitable for larger carnivores, therefore safe for walking safaris. It is a great site for birdwatchers as well as olive babboons, red tailed monkeya snd red colobus monkeys. Getting to Gombe Stream can be done most easily by small airplane from Moshi or Arusha. Travel by roads can range from tough to impossible during wet season (February - June) and the trip is long with travel times unpredictable. With this said, though, this is an experience not to be missed. |
