Saving great apes
14 Days (6 to 19 Oct 2025)
Uganda
Dr Jane Goodall believes that in order to save the great apes and other incredible species, communities should be inspired and empowered to live in balance with wildlife and the natural environment. Protecting animals also means protecting human communities and the ecosystems they both rely on. The Jane Goodall Institute Australia (JGIA) and RAW Africa Eco-Tours offer you a life-enriching travel experiences, to see firsthand the dedicated work of the Jane Goodall Institute.
Uganda: Saving Great Apes

This in turn increases opportunities for income generation that does not impact chimpanzees and their habitat.
Highlights:
• Visit JGI Uganda projects
• Murchison Falls National Park
• Gorilla trek
• Chimpanzee trek
• Queen Elizabeth National Park
• Ugandan Wildlife Education Centre
• Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary
Tanzania: In the Footstepsof Jane
When Dr Jane Goodall first arrived in Tanzania in 1960, she never imagined that she would spend the next 30 consecutive years of her life in one of the most remote parts of this incredible country. There’s something about Tanzania that drew Dr Jane Goodall to dedicate her life to its incredible wildlife.
In Tanzania the primary focus for JGIA is the protection of the forest corridor north of Gombe National Park. Habitat fragmentation leads to isolated populations, inbreeding and increased disease susceptibility. The proceeds from this tour will assist JGIA to secure the corridor by constructing ranger outposts, training and equipping local rangers.
Highlights:
• Visit Gombe Streams, home to Jane’s ground-breaking research.
• Chimpanzee trek at Gombe Streams
• Visit three Roots & Shoots groups across Tanzania.
• Game drives on the mighty Serengeti Plains, Stunning Tarengire National
Park and UNESCO World heritage
Ngorongoro Crater
• Visit Ol Duvai Gorge- home to the famous Leakey archaeology digs

In Rwanda the primary focus for JGIA is to support the management of this unique forest ecosystem. This management system requires the rangers to be able to gather data on the health status and behaviour of the chimpanzees as well as habitat quality.
Highlights:
• Chimpanzee Trek
• Boat ride on Lake Kivu and Coffee tour at Kinunu Plantation
• Tree top canopy walk in Nyungwe Forest
• Work with the JGI staff and Rangers in Nyungwe Forest identifying Chimpanzee and studying their habitat
