2-Day Chimpanzee Trek and Canopy Walkway in Nyungwe Forest

Summary

Nyungwe Forest National Park is a vast untouched tropical rainforest with a high, dense canopy. To get a real sense of the scale of Nyungwe, try East Africa’s highest canopy walk with a metal bridge suspended 50 metres above the forest. It’s not for the vertiginous but the views of Nyungwe sprawled out below are unforgettable. Spreading over 1,020km², Nyungwe Forest National Park harbours about 310 different bird species, hundreds of butterflies and orchids, and over 75 different species of mammals – including 13 primates (about a quarter of all Africa’s primates).
