Nyungwe National Park is Rwanda’s ancient rainforest, a lush and misty paradise tucked in the southwest of the country. This is one of the oldest montane forests in Africa, teeming with life—home to over 1,000 plant species, 13 species of primates, and more than 300 species of birds. It’s a haven for chimpanzee trekking, canopy walks, and deep forest hikes that feel like stepping into another world. Towering trees, tangled vines, and echoing bird calls make every step an experience in itself.

What makes Nyungwe truly special is how alive it feels. You’re not just observing nature—you’re immersed in it. Track playful L’Hoest’s monkeys, listen for the haunting call of the Rwenzori turaco, and cross Africa’s highest canopy walkway, suspended above the treetops. For travelers seeking connection, solitude, and raw natural beauty, Nyungwe offers a side of Rwanda that’s peaceful, wild, and absolutely unforgettable.
