Chimpanzee Tracking & Canopy Walk

Rwanda Chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe Forest National Park begins extremely early in the morning, so you should leave your accommodation as early as 5.00 a.m. to make it to the briefing area on time. The Uwinka track and the Cyamudongo portion are the two primary trailheads for Chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe Forest.

The forest has around 200 kinds of trees and flowering plants, 13 species of primates including colobus monkeys, vervet monkeys, and red-tailed monkeys, 300 bird species including numerous Albertine rift endemics, and several butterfly species. If it is Cyamudongo, you must drive a specific distance before your driver guide will transport you to the beginning place. After the chimp trek, there is a canopy walk or you may return to the resort for some rest and then go on the canopy walk later in the afternoon.
