Rwanda’s Primate Paradise

This ancient rainforest is home to a stunning variety of wildlife, including 13 species of primates, over 300 species of birds, and 200 species of trees. Chimpanzee trekking is a major attraction, with habituated groups that visitors can observe. Additionally, you might encounter colobus monkeys, a myriad of butterflies, and unique flora and fauna.

The park offers a range of activities beyond chimp trekking. Explore the forest canopy on a thrilling canopy walk, featuring suspended bridges that provide breathtaking views of the rainforest. Hike through the park’s numerous trails, discover waterfalls, and immerse yourself in the verdant atmosphere. Birding enthusiasts will find a paradise here, with diverse birdlife to spot.
