G Adventures, the tour operator championing community tourism, added five wildlife-centric tours to its Jane Goodall Collection in honor of her 90th birthday.
The tour collection, which Dr. Jane Goodall endorses, aims to support wildlife conservation and responsible tourism around the globe. The new trips visit Tanzania, the Amazon, Costa Rica, the U.S. and the Galápagos Islands. One tour includes a visit to Gombe Stream National Park, where Dr. Goodall began her research about chimpanzees in 1960.
“All of us at G Adventures are sending the warmest wishes to Dr. Jane Goodall on her remarkable 90th birthday,” said Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures. “Dr. Goodall’s dedication to wildlife conservation continues to inspire me and so many others around the world, and her tireless effort is a powerful reminder that we can all make a positive impact on the planet.”
