Parc National de Gombe

Gombe is the smallest of Tanzania's national parks, and one of the best known due to Jane Goodall's research on the Chimpanzees. Travel to the park is by boat only from Ujiji or Kigoma. The forests are alive with the famous chimpanzees, red colobus, and red-tail and blue monkeys. You can also spot bushbuck, bushpig and grey duiker. The lake shore is home to the pied and giant kingfishers, the crowned eagle, the African broadbill, Ross's turaco and the trumpeter hornbill.
