If you thought Tanzania was all herds of wildebeest and vast open plains, then add Gombe Stream National Park to your list. Made famous by Jane Goodall, the iconic primatologist who studied its chimpanzee population in the 1960s, the park is a tiny 52 square-kilometre paradise in the west of the country. Over 100 chimpanzees live in the jungled hills and activities are centred around trekking and watching the chimps play and interact, just as Dame Goodall did all those years ago. It’s not just about primates here, however, and Lake Tanganyika’s waters are perfect for snorkelling, sailing and kayaking, whilst the tanned beaches are simply made for a spot of R&R.
