Adventure travel company G Adventures has announced the addition of five new wildlife-focused trips to its Jane Goodall Collection of itineraries in celebration of renowned environmentalist Dr. Jane Goodall's 90th birthday. The expanded collection, which is endorsed by Goodall herself, aims to promote responsible wildlife tourism and support conservation efforts globally.
The new itineraries offer travelers the opportunity to experience wildlife across various G Adventures travel styles.
One of the standout additions is the Tanzania: Chimp Trekking & Serengeti Safari trip, part of the company's recently launched Geluxe Collection of premium active trips. This 10-day adventure from Arusha to Dar es Salaam includes a wild chimpanzee trekking experience in Gombe Stream National Park, the very place where Goodall began her groundbreaking primate research in 1960.
Another notable addition is the Amazon Riverboat Adventure In-Depth, a nine-day river cruise led by Amazon Reserve naturalist guides. Travelers will explore the rainforest's exotic wildlife and visit the Amazonian Manatee Rescue Centre to learn about efforts to rescue orphaned manatees.
"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."

The Jane Goodall Collection now features 19 trips in total, including other new offerings such as Iconic Wildlife of Yellowstone & Grand Teton in the United States; Costa Rica: Tortuguero, La Fortuna & Rio Celeste; and Galapagos Express Adventure: Wilderness and Wildlife, which marks the first “18-to-Thirtysomethings” itinerary in the collection.
"The Jane Goodall Institute thanks G Adventures for their continued support,” Goodall said in a statement. “Connecting with nature and having respect for animals is important for the wellbeing of our human spirit. It also gives travelers an understanding of the urgent need to protect our beautiful planet before it's too late."
Thanks to G Adventures’ partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada, a portion of every booked Jane Goodall Collection trip will be donated to support the organization's mission to protect wildlife and work with local communities as partners in conservation.
