Take on a guided nature walk Nyungwe Forest National Park, an incredible pristine Forest in Rwanda on the western border of Rwanda with a large amount of Chimpanzees and other tourist’s activities including nature walks, a canopy walk, bird watching and intense hikes. My favorite part of visiting Nyungwe was the famous nature walk in to the forests, Chimpanzee trekking to see the chimpanzees, Colobus monkey walk to sight the Colobus monkeys in Nyungwe Forests.
It is always a great experience you get on a guided nature walk in Nyungwe Forests. You will see countless bird species in the largest ancient rainforest in the mountains brimming with different kind of primate species. Nyungwe Forest is simply breathtaking through its network of trails constructed in the late 1980s in an attempt to open up Nyungwe to tourism.

While tourism in the national park remains relatively low-key, these six trails are nevertheless reasonably well maintained. Each trail is marked with a different colour. Hikers can choose trails ranging from the 2km-long Buhoro Trail, a proverbial walk in the woods, right up to the 10km-long Imbaraga Trail, which winds steeply up forested slopes and requires about six hours.
Some of the most popular trails include the Igishigishigi Trail (2.1km, about 1½ hours), which has spectacular tree ferns and great views, and the Umuyove Trail (5.5km, 3½ hours), which has birds, colourful flowers, a waterfall and large mahogany trees. The Irebero Trail (3.6km, three hours) is noted for its stunning viewpoints.
Visitors need to plan and secure trekking permits to track chimpanzee or track Colobus monkeys, in theory you could run across either primate while hiking the coloured trails. Even if you don’t come across these two star billings, you’re likely to spot some of Nyungwe other 11 primates, as well as a whole slew of birdlife, and possibly even the odd mammal or two.
