Gombe Steam National Park, on the shores of Lake Tanganika, is the smallest park in Tanzania covering only 52 sq kms. but it offers visitors the rare chance to observe the chimpanzee communities made famous by British explorer Jane Goodall. A number of monkey spicies can also be seen, red columbus, red-tail and blue monkeys.
The area is heavily forested making it an unsuitable habitat for carnivores, so the park is safe for talking safaris.
There are rewarding sites for birdwatchers.
