Duration:
2 days
Description
Embark on 2 days rainforest adventure in Nyungwe National Park. Trek through the forest in search of chimpanzees, walk on the Canopy Walkway, and hike to the Kamiranzovu and Ndambarare waterfalls.
Begin your adventure with a very early morning pickup from your Kigali hotel, residence, or Kigali International Airport. Begin the scenic journey southwest toward Nyungwe, passing Rwanda's rolling hills, villages, tea plantations, and spectacular countryside.
Upon arrival in Nyungwe, begin your rainforest adventure with the famous Canopy Walkway. Walk along the suspended bridge high above the forest floor and enjoy spectacular views across the ancient rainforest canopy.
Continue into the rainforest for a guided hike toward Kamiranzovu Waterfall. Follow forest trails through lush vegetation and experience the sounds, atmosphere, and biodiversity of Nyungwe from deep inside the forest.
After the day's adventure, settle into your campsite and enjoy an evening surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest.
Wake before sunrise, have breakfast, and prepare for your chimpanzee trekking adventure. Enter the forest with your trackers and guide and follow the sounds of the forest in search of chimpanzees. The forest is unpredictable, which makes every trek different. Along the way, you may also encounter other primates, birds, and fascinating rainforest wildlife.
After chimpanzee trekking, continue to Ndambarare Waterfall. Follow the rainforest trail through lush vegetation until you reach the waterfall, where you can enjoy the surroundings, take photographs, and appreciate the final highlight of your Nyungwe adventure.
After the hike, begin your private drive back to Kigali. Drop-off at your Kigali hotel, residence, or Kigali International Airport.
