Located in western Uganda, Gombe is home to the renowned Kibale National Park, a 795-square-kilometer rainforest known as the "Primate Capital of the World". Home to more than 1,500 chimpanzees, the park is one of the world's best destinations for studying and observing chimpanzees in the wild, and is the site of a decades-long chimpanzee behavioral study by Jane Goodall. In addition to chimpanzees, the area is also home to 13 species of primates, including red colobus monkeys and black and white colobus monkeys, as well as mammals such as forest elephants and leopards, making it an incredibly biodiverse place. Visitors can participate in the "Chimpanzee Tracking" eco-tourism program, where they are guided deep into the pristine forests to get up close and personal with these close relatives of mankind, while experiencing the unique charm of the African wild. Gombe is not only a paradise for nature lovers, but also an important base for global wildlife conservation.
The third largest island in the Republic of Malta, located between the main island of Malta and the island of Gozo, Comino covers an area of only about 3.5 square kilometers, but is known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The island's most famous attraction is the Blue Lagoon, a stunning blue-green color and crystal clear waters, ideal for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing, which attracts tourists from all over the world. Sparsely populated and free from the hustle and bustle of motorized vehicles, Comino has retained its original island look and feel, and in addition to the Blue Lagoon, there are historical attractions such as St. Mary's Tower, the ruins of the fortress, and an abundance of hiking trails. Visitors can reach the island by boat in about 25 minutes from the main island of Malta, making it the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a slower pace of life in the Mediterranean.
