Morning Chimpanzee Trekking & Afternoon Canopy Walk
Wake up early, enjoy a hearty breakfast, and make your way to the designated meeting point at the park. There, you'll meet up with the rangers and venture into the dense Nyungwe forest in search of chimpanzees before they wake up. Finding the chimps early has its advantages, as it allows for more quality time with them. Once these primates start moving through the challenging terrain of the forest, they can be harder to locate due to their speed.
During this excursion, you'll have a full hour of close encounters with the chimpanzees. Afterward, return to your lodge for lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a transfer to the forest for a thrilling forest canopy walk. This experience offers a bird's-eye view of the park and its lush surroundings, providing a unique perspective on the natural beauty of Nyungwe.
