Nyungwe Forest National Park

Nyungwe Forest National Park, located in southwestern Rwanda, is a pristine and biodiverse haven, spanning approximately 1,020 square kilometres. This ancient rainforest is one of the oldest in Africa, and its rich ecosystems are a treasure trove for nature enthusiasts. Nyungwe is renowned for its diverse primate populations, including chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, and mangabeys.

The park's network of walking trails offers visitors the chance to explore its lush landscapes, discover a myriad of bird species, and encounter rare plants and butterflies. Canopy walks provide a unique perspective on the forest, allowing for birdwatching and panoramic views. Nyungwe Forest is not only a sanctuary for wildlife but also a cultural heritage site, with historical roots dating back to ancient times. This protected area stands as witness to Rwanda's commitment to conservation and offers an immersive experience in the heart of Africa's montane rainforest.

Come to Rwanda and we will create a once-in-a-lifetime Rwanda Safari for you amid this tropical paradise. We have safaris departing from Kigali to this and other exciting parks.
