For its latest collection, Google traveled to the African rainforest where Jane Goodall pioneered her groundbreaking chimp research.

Thanks to Google, people can now explore Gombe without leaving the house. Google’s latest Street View project takes users deep into the African rainforest, where they can see baboons resting by the beach and Goodall’s famous chimpanzees swinging through trees.
