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.
