  1. 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...

  2. This shot illustrates an extreme example of deforestation just at the edge of Gombe National Park.

  3. This shot was taken from the top of the rift escarpment looking west into the park. The elevation changes from 2500' to 4500' from the lake to the point the shot was taken.

  4. Before my arrival to Gombe in 1992, chimpanzees used to use the area in the bottom half of this image. Due to habitat destruction immediately around the park there are no longer chimpanzees using this area.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Typical scene of baboons on the beach in Gombe National Park, Tanznaia. These baboons have been studied by researchers and Tanzanian field assistants for decades, and are very habituated to the presence of humans.

  7. The focus of this shot was of a single woodland tree. The Gombe woodlands are open and park-like, very different from the vine entangle valleys below.

  8. 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...

  9. 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.

  10. 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...
