Overview
Your 3 Days Chimpanzee and Canopy Walk in Nyungwe NP is one of our most sought after safari programs, offering an exceptional blend of primate encounters and forest adventure in Rwanda’s pristine rainforest. Set in the heart of the Land of a Thousand Hills, Nyungwe National park is one of Africa’s oldest montane forests and a biodiversity hotspot. The highlight of this journey is chimpanzee trekking, where you will venture into the forest alongside expert guides in search of these energetic primates. Observing chimpanzees in their natural habitat, listening to their calls, and witnessing their social interactions is both thrilling and deeply rewarding. Complementing the trek is the iconic canopy walk, a suspended bridge elevated above the forest floor. This 3 Days Chimpanzee and Canopy Walk in Nyungwe NP offers panoramic views across the treetops and an opportunity to appreciate the forest ecosystem from a rare perspective. Together, these activities create a dynamic and memorable safari that perfectly concludes your Rwanda adventure.
