Nyungwe Forest National Park, located in the southwestern region of Rwanda, is one of Africa’s most important and pristine rainforests. Spanning over 1,000 square kilometers, Nyungwe is a biodiverse sanctuary known for its rich variety of wildlife, plant species, and striking landscapes. The park is part of the Albertine Rift, and it features a mix of tropical rainforest, bamboo forests, and wetlands, offering unique ecosystems and beautiful vistas.
Nyungwe is home to a wide range of primates, including the endangered chimpanzees, golden monkeys, and various species of monkeys. The park’s dense canopy and diverse habitats provide a haven for birdwatchers, with over 300 bird species, many of which are endemic to the region. The forest is also an ecological treasure trove for plant enthusiasts, with hundreds of plant species and medicinal plants found within its borders.

Primate Watching BirdwatchingCanopy WalkPhotographyThe Best Time to Visit Nyungwe Forest National Park is during the dry season, from June to September, and in December. The weather is cooler, and the trails are more accessible, making it ideal for hiking, chimpanzee tracking, and birdwatching. This period is also perfect for photographing the lush green forests and capturing the unique wildlife. The wet season, from October to May, brings heavier rains, especially from March to May. While the forest is more vibrant and the plants are lush, trekking can be more challenging, but it’s still an excellent time for birdwatching as migratory birds are present.
