East Africa Journeys

Join the Jane Goodall Institute for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through East Africa.

Hike with us to see the wild chimpanzees of Gombe, Tanzania, or visit Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda; search the vast Serengeti/ Maasai Mara ecosystem and witness one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth - millions of migrating wildebeest. Journey down into the Ngorongoro Crater (one of the Seven Wonders of the World) and tour Olduvai Gorge, the cradle of mankind and the beginning of Jane’s journey to Gombe.  We also have behind-the-scenes access to JGI’s community-centered conservation projects, the children participating in the Roots & Shoots program, and the amazing Maasai people.

Trip itineraries vary slightly and travel takes place in January/February and July/August. In celebration of JGI’s 30th year anniversary there are three trips planned in the summer of 2008.  The trips cost between $9,000 – 14,000 per person and covers all expenses including accommodation, meals, flights within Africa to avoid long car rides, park fees, local guides and drivers, tipping, lectures, permits, and more. International airfare is not included.

These exclusive and unique trips are available for members of Jane’s Peak Society (JPS), our leadership giving circle. Membership begins with a minimum investment of $1,000 or more and includes invitations to join events where you will meet and hear from JGI program staff, board members and even Dr. Jane herself! To become a JPS member please contact Suzanne Henderson at shenderson@janegoodall.org or 703-682-9266 (EST).
