Gombe Stream National Park

Gombe Stream National Park is situated in the north western region of Tanzania, and lies about 16km north of Kigoma. Covering an area of 52 sq km, it is Tanzania smallest park but surprisingly one of the most destinations for chimpanzees tracking in the country. (This is one of the few remaining places where they can be found in their natural habitat). Due to the park being heavily forested, large game is not common in this area, but a number of other primate species such as the red colobus, red-tail and blue monkey, grey duiker, bushbuck and bush pig as well numerous species of bird including trumpter hornbills, Rooss turaco, crowned eagle, secretary bird and narrow tailed starling to mention a few.
