This moderate-to-difficult trail winds through lush rainforest, following the paths where Dr. Goodall conducted her groundbreaking chimpanzee research. You'll have the opportunity to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat, encounter other primates like red colobus monkeys, and spot a variety of birdlife. A packed lunch is recommended for this hike.
  • Afternoon Lecture (Optional): In the afternoon, consider attending a lecture or presentation at the Jane Goodall Institute, located near the park headquarters. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Dr. Goodall's work and the ongoing conservation efforts in Gombe Stream National Park.
