Why should you visit? As mentioned above, Gombe is known best for its chimpanzee communities made famous by Jane Goodall. Goodall’s groundbreaking behavioural research program on monkeys at Gombe is the longest-running study of its kind worldwide. In her studies, she found that humans and primates have a lot in common, and that “it isn’t only human beings who have personality, who are capable of rational thought [and] emotions like joy and sorrow”. Apart from primates, other animals frequently seen in the park include over 200 bird species , 11 species of snakes, hippopotami leopards and bushpigs. So what are you waiting for?
