The 11 Best Nyungwe Forest & Canopy Walk Tours

11 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $290

The walkway hangs seventy metres over a ravine and takes about an hour, which is never the whole reason to drive six hours south. These 11 pair it with chimpanzee tracking, waterfall trails and tea estates, with prices and an honest note on how much of each day is spent in the car.

Review of Rwanda’s Nyungwe canopy walk from Kigali, with forest views, monkey sightings, cultural stops, practical tips, price, and drawbacks.

“Long day but worth it with excellent guide. It’s an unavoidable long day to travel to the canopy, walk and back from Kigali. But the guide made it work, and was good company and knowledgeable. Definitely a worth while experience and highly recommended.”

Review of Kigali’s Nyungwe canopy walk and Ndambarare waterfall day tour, with costs, timing, hiking tips, guides, and honest value advice.

“After 5hr drive from Kigali to the canopy. The initial cost was expensive £329.55, then there was a fee added for the park entrance plus a fee added for a guide which you must have £113.47. Then when you get to the canopy it's only about 50 metres in length, which was disappointing.”

Review of a 2-day Nyungwe tour with chimp sightings, canopy walkway, waterfall hike, tea plantations, museums, meals, and one forest night.

“I really enjoyed this tour! It’s a great experience in the rainforest and the canopy is unforgettable. 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…”
