Why Choose This Package
-

Nyungwe Forest National Park is famous for its chimpanzee population and other primates.

The trek may last several hours depending on chimp movement, and once located, you typically spend up to 1 hour observing.

Trekking permits through Nyungwe are required; for non-residents, the chimp tracking fee is US$ 150 per person.

-
Canopy Walk Experience
-
Included or optionally added, many chimp-trek packages feature the canopy walk—a long suspension bridge high above the forest floor that offers breathtaking views of the forest.
-

On your way to Nyungwe (or back), you’ll pass through Rwanda’s rolling hills, tea plantations, and rural landscapes.

Important Notes & Considerations
-
Booking Permits: Chimpanzee trekking permits in Nyungwe are limited, so they should be booked well in advance.

Physical Fitness: The trek can be physically demanding (up and down forest terrain), so a moderate level of fitness is helpful.
-
Best Time to Visit: Dry seasons are generally easier for trekking — this can affect both your experience and the chance to spot chimps.

What to Pack: Long-sleeved clothes, good hiking shoes, rain jacket, insect repellent, binoculars, and a good camera.

Camera Etiquette: Use of flash may be restricted when observing primates — always follow ranger instructions.
