A thin strip of ancient forest lying on the shores of Lake Tanganyika to the hills above, is the remnant of a once large chimpanzee territory. Gombe has become famous due to the British researcher Jane Goodall who has been studying these animals since 1960. Carnivores are a rarity and therefore this park is suitable for walking safaris. Olive baboons are common but red colubus and redtail and blue monkeys are less so. Bushbuck and duiker live here as do 230 species of bird.
