Nyungwe

Nyungwe National Park covers the mountains of south-west Rwanda. The main road crosses the forest, with the Uwinka visitor centre in the middle and lodges near Gisakura and Kitabi.

Chimpanzee tracking starts before dawn; the canopy walkway and waterfall trails suit any time of day. Expect rain in every season and bring a warm layer: the forest sits above 2,000 metres.
