Mahale Mountains National Park & Gombe

Mahale. like its northerly neighbour Gombe, is home to some of the Africa’s last remaining wild chimpanzees, a population of roughly 900, they have habituated to human visitors by a Japanese research project founded in the 1960s. Tracking the chimps of Mahale is a magical experience


Gombe is the smallest of Tanzania's national parks: a fragile strip of chimpanzee habitat straddling the steep slopes and river valleys that hem in the sandy northern shore of Lake Tanganyika. Its chimpanzees – habituated to human visitors – were made famous by the pioneering work of Jane Goodall, who in 1960 founded a behavioural research program that now stands as the longest-running study of its kind in the world. The matriarch Fifi, the last surviving member of the original community, only three-years old when Goodall first set foot in Gombe, is still regularly seen by visitors.
