Gombe Stream National Park
Situated some
16 km north of Kigoma town in western Tanzania, Gombe
Stream is the smallest National Park in Tanzania with an
area of 52 sq. km of land. Gombe is a narrow strip of a
mountainous country bounded to the east by the crest of
the Rift Valley escarpment and by Lake Tanganyika to the
west. The beauty of Gombe is unique; it is a park without
roads, where you can walk and experience nature with all
your senses. The park’s vegetation varies from the
evergreen forests of tall trees to open woodlands and
grasslands. Common mammals found are forests pecies,
mostly primates including chimpanzees, baboons, blue
monkeys, red tailed monkeys and red colobus monkeys.
