Gombe Stream National Park
Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, located at 4 40′ S 29 38′ E, is the smallest of that country’s national parks and was formed in 1968 to give protection to 150 chimpanzees that lived there, made famous by the primatologist Jane Goodall. The park forms a 2.5 km by 14 km strip of land near the shore of Lake Tanganyika. The actual lakeshore is excluded from the park, however, allowing visitors to camp or walk along the shore. The total area of the park is 35 km².
