  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. 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...

  8. 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.

  9. 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...

  10. 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...
