contents In this article we study geodesic flows on closed Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points and divergence property of geodesic rays. If the fundamental group is Gromov hyperbolic and residually finite we prove, under appropriate assumptions on the expansive set, that the geodesic flow has a unique measure of maximal entropy. This generalizes corresponding results of Climenhaga, Knieper and War proved under the stronger assumption of the existence of a background metric of negative sectional curvature.
