Gombe Stream National Park (525 words) |
 | To the human listener, walking through the ancient forests of Gombe Stream, this spine-chilling outburst is also an indicator of imminent visual contact with man’s closest genetic relative: the chimpanzee. |
| Gombe is the smallest of Tanzania's national parks: a fragile strip of chimpanzee habitat straddling the steep slopes and river valleys that hem in the sandy northern shore of Lake Tanganyika. |
| Chimpanzees share about 98% of their genes with humans, and no scientific expertise is required to distinguish between the individual repertoires of pants, hoots and screams that define the celebrities, the powerbrokers, and the supporting characters. |
| Gombe Chimpanzee Safari - Tanzania Gombe Safari (770 words) |
| Gombe Stream National Park, commonly referred to as Gombe, is located in southwestern Tanzania on the beautiful sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika. |
| Gombe itself is cushioned between the edges of the western crest of the Great Rift Valley on the east of the park to the west by Lake Tanganyika. |
| In 1943, Gombe Stream National Reserve was gazetted to preserve the forest vegetation and the chimpanzees along with it. |
