Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda

Nyungwe National Park is one of Africa’s oldest and most biodiverse rainforests—an untouched natural wonder that stretches across the misty mountains of southwestern Rwanda. This ancient forest is world-renowned for its rich ecosystems, breathtaking landscapes, and incredible wildlife, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

Home to 13 primate species including chimpanzees, L’Hoest’s monkeys, and the striking Angolan colobus, Nyungwe offers some of the best chimpanzee trekking experiences in East Africa. The park is also a paradise for bird enthusiasts, hosting over 300 bird species, many of which are Albertine Rift endemics found only in this region.

One of Nyungwe’s most iconic attractions is the Canopy Walkway, a suspended bridge high above
