G Adventures Adds to 'Jane Goodall Collection' for Environmentalist's Milestone Birthday
Legendary environmentalist Dr. Jane Goodall turns 90, and in her honor, G Adventures has expanded its collection of wildlife-focused trips she’s endorsed. Five new trips have been added to G Adventures’ ‘Jane Goodall Collection,’ including a new trip that follows in the footsteps of her experiences in Tanzania.
The collaboration between G Adventures, which is committed to ‘community tourism,’ and Dr. Goodall, aims to promote responsible wildlife tourism and support conservation efforts across the globe.

THE ‘JANE GOODALL COLLECTION’ OF WILDLIFE TOURS!
The five new tours bring the total number of life-changing adventures in the Collection to 19. The new entries to the Collection allow you to embark on wildlife-supporting trips to Tanzania, the Amazon, Galápagos Islands, Costa Rica and the USA, including a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe chimpanzees in the wild in Gombe Stream National Park, the place Dr. Goodall began her trailblazing research in 1960 at the age of 26.
And G Adventures will donate a portion of every adventure booked to help support its mission to protect
wildlife and work with local communities as their partners in conservation.
Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures, says: “All of us at G Adventures are sending the warmest wishes to Dr. Jane Goodall on her remarkable 90th birthday. 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.
“I am so proud of this partnership and can’t wait for even more of our travellers to step deeper into the animal kingdom to connect with nature, recognizing the role we play in their wellbeing and preserving their habitats.”
Dr. Jane Goodall added: “The Jane Goodall Institute thanks G Adventures for their continued support. Connecting with nature and having respect for animals is important for the wellbeing of our human spirit. It also gives travellers an understanding of the urgent need to protect our beautiful planet before it’s too late.”
