from My Life With the Chimpanzees by Jane Goodall 1 July 16, 1960 was a day I shall remember all my life. It was when I first set foot on the shingle and sand beach of Chimpanzee Land—that is, Gombe National Park. I was twenty-six years old. 2 Mum and I were greeted by the two African game scouts who were responsible for protecting the thirty square miles of the park. They helped us to find a place where we could put up our old ex-army tent. 3 We chose a lovely spot under some shady trees near the small, fast-flowing Kakombe Stream. In Kigoma (before setting out), we had found a cook, Dominic. He put up his little tent some distance from ours and quite near the lake. 4 When camp was ready, I set off to explore. It was already late afternoon, so I could not go far. There had been a grass fire not long before, so all the vegetation of the more open ridge and peaks had burned away. This made it very easy to move around, except that the slopes above the valley were very steep in places, and I slipped several times on the loose, gravelly soil. 5 I shall never forget the thrill of that first exploration. Soon after leaving camp I met a troop of baboons. They were afraid of the strange, white-skinned creature (that was me) and gave their barking alarm call, “Waa-hoo! Waa-hoo!” again and again. I left them, hoping that they would become used to me soon—otherwise, I thought, all the creatures of Gombe would be frightened. As I crossed a narrow ravine crowded with low trees and weeds, I got very close to a beautiful red-gold bushbuck—a forest antelope about the size of a long-legged goat. I knew it was female, because she had no horns. When she scented me, she kept quite still for a moment and stared toward me with her big, dark eyes. Then, with a loud, barking call, she turned and bounded away. 1. Why is July 16, 1960 a day that Jane Goodall will always remember?
