  1. This is one of my favorite spots in Gombe. It is quite well hidden and you have to know where it is. Fortunately the chimps traveled through here years ago when I was with them and have I returned many time since. It is at the top of a 100'cliff overlooking a natural bowl. I have spent hundereds of hours in this v...

  2. I didn't know when I took this panorama that Google Earth had done an incredibly detailed series of shots of this very spot. If you zoom into the Google earth point, you will see the cement circle (which is a water pump) where we ate lunch as the Gigapan robot did it's thing. I took this shot while on safari with my...

  3. I was lucky to get this shot. Chimpanzees are often in thick vegetation and in the dark areas of the forest. Tarzan built this little day nest and took a siesta right off one of the main paths in Gombe. Tarzan is an independent young chimp, and a bit of a trouble-maker. Though orphaned a few years ago, he seems to...

  4. This image was taken south of Jane Goodall Institute's Misitu-Ugalla conservation project in Tanzania. Tobacco plantations and other slash and burn farming methods are threatening chimp populations in Western Tanzania. This images shows the remnants of the forest within the tobacco field as well as beautiful standin...

  5. This is a shot of a Pax who had been resting in a 'day nest' (basically a chimp hammock) after a long fruit eating session. I had been following the chimps all morning but without the Gigapan. When I figured they were heading for this ridge, I ran back to my hut and grabbed the Gigapan and camera, hoping to get some...

  6. This is a view from the fourth floor balcony of The Clove Hotel in Stonetown looking south towards St. Joseph's Cathedral, the Bagh Muharmi Mosque, and the House of Wonders. I thought the cross section of the nearby crumbling building was particularly interesting.

  7. This shot was taken from the Eastern border of Gombe National Park looking south down the Rift Escarpment. If you look to the right, you will see the beautiful intact riverine forests of Gombe, on the left, the forests and woodlands are being cleared for firewood and for farming. The Jane Goodall Institute is working...

  8. This shot was taken from the very point Jane Goodall spend months and months observing chimpanzee behavior in the early 1960's before the chimps were habituated to humans. From this point she observed chimps fishing with a tool for termites and chimps hunting colobus monkeys. Occasionally, Jane spent the night here ...

  9. Ol Doinyo Lengai is a volcano located in the north of Tanzania and is part of the volcanic system of the Great Rift Valley in Eastern Africa. It is located in the eastern Rift Valley, south of both Lake Natron and Kenya. It is unique among active volcanoes in that it produces natrocarbonatite lava, a unique occurrence ...

  10. This is a great example of high woodland and grassland near the top of the rift escarpment in Gombe National Park. In the distance you see the thickly vegetated valleys, Jane's Peak, where Dr. Goodall began observing the chimpanzees in 1960, Far to the top of the frame you see deforestation on the outside of the park.
