Tour Overview

Begin your day with a scenic drive from Kigali to Nyungwe Forest National Park.

Upon arrival, embark on the canopy walkway—a thrilling experience that allows you to walk among the treetops and enjoy panoramic views of the forest canopy. The walkway, suspended high above the ground, provides a bird’s-eye view of the lush vegetation and the chance to spot wildlife that you might not see from the forest floor. Look out for the park’s rich birdlife and the occasional glimpse of monkeys moving through the trees. Following your canopy walk, explore other attractions within Nyungwe Forest. Depending on your interests and available time, you may have the opportunity to take a nature walk on one of the park’s well-maintained trails, such as the Igishigishigi Trail or the Waterfall Trail, where you can experience the beauty of the rainforest up close and spot additional wildlife. After a day of exploration, enjoy a packed lunch amidst the forest’s serene surroundings before beginning your drive back to Kigali.
