Welcome to Nyungwe National Park

This is the largest block of high-altitude mountain forest in East and Central Africa, and one of the most ancient, dating back to before the last ice age. Nyungwe Forest is best known for its various species of primates, including the chimpanzee, the handsome, white-bearded L’hoest’s monkey, and large troops of the acrobatic Angola colobus. The forest is also the best ornithological site in Rwanda, harboring nearly 300 bird species. A highlight for bird-watchers is the great blue turaco, a stunning crested bird that calls loudly as it streams from tree to tree.

Canopy walkway

The Canopy Walkway located in the middle of the Igishigishigi trail is 40 meters above the ground level, and 90 meters long, above a steep, deep valley, that affords the tourists the dizzying platform from which to be at the " eye-to-eye level " with different primate species, and many bird species, all of which are fond of inhabiting the upper scales of the forest.
