The park houses the Gombe Stream Research Centre (GSRC), established by Primatologist Jane Goodall, who came to Tanzania in `960. You can also see olive baboons, blue monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, and vervet monkeys in the park. The national park is also home to 200+ bird species. You may rarely spot hippos and leopards.
