IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO RWANDA AND NEVER TOURED NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK,PLAN YOUR TRIP TODAY.

NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK.

Nyungwe Forest National Park offers a rare and important habitat for many species, especially primates and birds.

Nyungwe forest has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and is one of Africa’s oldest. However there is a possibility that climate change will not affect Nyungwe as much as other forests, reason the forest is protected from threats like fires and tree cutting. Nyungwe receives more than 2000 mm a year of rain and thus is also the source of Africa’s great rivers.

Canopy Walk.

Recently the park opened a canopy walk, the only one of its kind in East Africa. The first ever hanging platform which allows tourists to view different animal species in Nyungwe forest. The Canopy Walkway is 40 meters above the ground level, and 90 meters long, above a steep, deep valley, that affords the clients 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.

This dizzying platform is above a steep and deep valley trotting across massive forest.

The forest has a network of walking and hiking trails. It has a number of camping sites and the development of cultural tourism near the edge of the Park is underway. New trails and camping sites are planned and being constructed as part of the development project, as are new ways of both observing and enjoying the Park.

 Nyungwe Forest Lodge.

The lodge is situated in a tea plantation on the edge of the Nyungwe closed canopy rain forest, home to 13 species of primate including Chimpanzees.

Nyungwe Forest lodge is the only luxury lodge establishment within the Nyungwe National Park area, with its outdoor heated swimming pool, outdoor dining and drinks plus Conference facilities that accommodates up to 18 delegates.

A SAFARI TO RWANDA IS ACOMPLETE TOUR.

Volcanoes National Park.

This is the most famous destination in Rwanda, the park has become famous mostly because of its mountain gorilla tracking safaris and no visit to the country would be complete without visiting these giant primates.

The park boarders Uganda and the DRC. Gorillas, of course, pay no heed to borders and are known to cross between the countries, although most habituated groups are to be found in Volcanoes National Park. Visiting the Gorillas in the mist is an experience you will never forget.

Ruhengeri town now commonly known as Musanze is easily accessible on a 1-2 hour drive from the capital Kigali. Now this town is a tourist hub, with plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants.

The Park’s Headquarters are based in the nearby village of Kinigi, the administrative centre for permits and the place where all visitors gather in the mornings for briefings before starting on their gorilla treks.

Not only Gorilla tracking in Volcanoes National Park but also several other primates have made the Park their home too and it’s possible to track two troops of habituated golden monkeys, a totally different experience to gorilla tracking. Golden monkeys tend to inhabit the bamboo forests on the lower slopes, so the walk to reach them is relatively easy. Again, once you find them, you’ll have just an hour in their presence. They’re fast-moving little creatures, and very entertaining as they constantly swing through the bamboo or chase each other in circles all around you. They’re also very pretty, with shiny reddish-gold backs that blend in perfectly with the golden bamboo.
