Step into a living relic of ancient Earth — where time slows, the air is rich with mist and birdsong, and every path leads to something sacred. Nyungwe Forest, tucked in the lush mountains of southwestern Rwanda, is one of the oldest Afro-montane forests on the planet — a thriving ecological sanctuary that predates the last Ice Age.
Home to 13 primate species, over 300 bird species, and East Africa’s only forest canopy walkway, Nyungwe invites you to walk eye-to-eye with the wild — from curious colobus monkeys and golden cats to the surreal flash of a Blue Turaco darting through the leaves.
Elevated walkways reveal treetop dramas, while the forest floor hums with rare orchids, ancient ferns, and hidden waterfalls. Whether you’re tracking playful chimpanzees, photographing rare birds, or simply listening to the breath of the forest, Nyungwe is not just a destination — it’s a deep, quiet encounter with creation itself.
