Ultimate Nyungwe Forest Experience : Chimps, Canopy, Waterfalls & Zipline

Your journey to Nyungwe National Park begins early in the morning with a departure from Kigali. As you travel through Rwanda’s scenic countryside, you’ll pass rolling hills and diverse vegetation, offering a picturesque view of the landscape.

An optional stop at the Ethnographic Museum in Huye is available to explore Rwanda’s rich cultural and historical heritage through its impressive exhibits.

After the visit, continue your drive to Nyungwe and settle in for the evening.

Start your day early with a thrilling chimpanzee trekking experience. After a short briefing at the park headquarters, a guided walk will take you deep into the forest to track and observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat.

Return to the lodge for lunch and enjoy a relaxed afternoon. Optional cultural or community-based activities can be arranged if desired.

Today you’ll explore more of Nyungwe’s beauty with two exciting activities:

Start with the canopy walk, where you’ll walk across a suspended bridge high above the forest floor. This gives you stunning panoramic views and chances to spot birds and monkeys.

Afterward, embark on a scenic hike to the Isumo Waterfall, one of Nyungwe’s most breathtaking trails. This hike takes you through tea plantations, rainforest, and across streams until you reach the powerful, mist-covered waterfall.

Enjoy a thrilling zipline adventure in the morning—glide through the forest canopy and take in unforgettable views of Nyungwe’s stunning biodiversity from above. Full safety equipment and professional supervision are provided.

After this exciting experience, return to the lodge for lunch and freshening up before your afternoon drive back to Kigali. You’ll arrive in the evening.
