Gombe Stream National Park is located in the western Kigoma Region, Tanzania, 10 miles ( 20 km) north of Kigoma, the capital of the Kigoma Region. Established in 1968, Gombe is the smallest national park in Tanzania, with only 20 square miles ( 52 km2) of forest running along the hills of the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. Steep valleys distinguish the terrain, and the forest vegetation ranges from grassland to alpine bamboo to tropical rainforest. Accessible on the Chimpanzee population. The Kasakale Chimpanzee community, featured in several books and documentaries, lives in Gombe Stream National Park.

The ancient forest may look tranquil and Serena. Still, suddenly an exciting whoop emerges from the heart of the jungle, with a dozen other voices immediately join in, rising in volume and tempo to a frenzied shrieking crescendo. Next to that, almost 98% of Chimpanzees share their genes with humans.
No scientific expertise is required to distinguish between the individual repertoires of pants, hoots, and screams that define the celebrities, the power brokers, and the supporting characters. Perhaps you will see a flicker of understanding when you look into a chimp’s eyes, assessing you in return – a look of apparent recognition across the narrowest of species barriers.
