Chimpanzees and a canopy walkway in montane forest
Nyungwe National Park covers a large area of ancient montane rainforest in south-western Rwanda. It is home to thirteen primate species, including chimpanzees that can be tracked from dawn and large troops of Angola colobus monkeys. A suspended canopy walkway lets you walk among the treetops above a deep ravine. Hiking trails lead to waterfalls, and the forest is a major draw for birdwatchers, with many species found only in the Albertine Rift. Tea plantations surround the forest's edges.
