3 Hours Before Flight Time
Our 3 Days Nyungwe National Park safari takes you for an amazing time in the forest. The tour includes
chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe forest, a canopy walk, nature walks, visiting one of the tea estates and
stops to some interesting historical sites. By the end of the trip, we know you will be impressed with the
natural beauty of the country and what it has to offer. The 3 days safari in Nyungwe forest starts and
ends in Kigali
The amazing canopy walk takes you across a hanging platform which crosses over the tall and majestic
trees of Nyungwe. The hanging platform is built 50 meters above the ground and is 200 meters long.
You will have an aerial view of the forest enabling you to spot birds and more of the primates feeding on
top of the trees or jumping from one tree to another.
During your time with them expect to observe individuals grooming, breast feeding, mating and playing.
Unlike mountain gorillas, chimpanzees spend a lot of time on top of trees which can be very
inconveniencing if you want to take good photos. They are also very mobile and rarely stay in one place
for a long time like gorillas. The good thing is that they are very noisy and easy to detect even in very
thick forest.
Wake up early for breakfast as you wait for the Guide/ Driver. The driver will take you to Gisakura Tea
Estate for a tour of the farm and factory. While at the tea estate, you will learn how tea is grown,
processed and packed at the factory. You will then continue the long journey to Kigali. The driver will
make stops to any of the places you didn’t check out on the first day.
