Nyungwe Forest National Park
One of Africa's oldest rainforests — chimpanzees at dawn, thirteen primate species, and a canopy walkway swaying 70 metres above the ferns.
One of Africa's oldest rainforests — chimpanzees at dawn, thirteen primate species, and a canopy walkway swaying 70 metres above the ferns.
Step onto East Africa's only canopy walkway and cross a 160-metre suspension bridge hung 70 metres above the forest floor — eye level with turacos, hornbills and acrobatic monkeys.
Below and around you stretches a rainforest that has stood for at least 25,000 years, one of the most biodiverse places on the continent.
Plan This Experience
Rise before dawn to track chimpanzees through the mist as the forest wakes around you, or find Nyungwe's celebrity primates — Angola colobus troops several hundred strong, streaming through the canopy like black-and-white banners.
With 13 primate species and over 300 birds (29 found nowhere else but these mountains), every trail delivers.
