I also really enjoyed the museums and was glad I took the two day trip to enjoy the peace of the park and still have time learn more about Rwanda on the way to and from the park! The communication was excellent, guide Arnaud was professional, insightful and very kind. I would highly recommend this tour and thank you to the team!”

Explore Nyungwe from Kigali with chimpanzee trekking, a 70-meter canopy walk, tea fields, waterfalls, meals, and lodging.

“Spending two days exploring Nyungwe National Park was absolutely amazing. The itinerary was so well-planned that I never felt tired I was just excited to see what was next. I got to experience everything I hoped for: chimpanzees, Angolan colobus monkeys, and so many other primates. The tea plantations were stunning, the waterfalls were beautiful, and the canopy walk was a real highlight. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave. Being surrounded by the forest for two days was such a refreshing experience. My guide, Paul, was fantastic and made the trip even better. If you’re thinking about visiting Nyungwe, I highly recommend this tour package it was well worth it!Read…”
