Visit Nyungwe National Park | Hermosa Life Tours and Travel

The Nyungwe Forest is adjacent to the Kibira National Park in southwestern Rwanda, near the Burundi border. The Nyungwe rainforest is the best-preserved montane rainforest in Central Africa. It is located in a watershed between the Congo River basin to the west and the Nile River basin to the east. On the east side of the Nyungwe forest, one of the Nile’s branches begins.
Nyungwe Forest National Park, which covers almost 970 square kilometers of rainforest, bamboo, grassland, marshes, and bogs, was established in 2004. In October 2020, the Rwanda Development Board signed a deal with African Parks to take over management of Nyungwe National Park for a 20-year period.

Nyungwe forest is one of Africa’s oldest rainforests, home to a varied array of wildlife and stunning landscape. The steep terrain is home to a tiny population of chimps and 12 other primate species, including the uncommon L’Hoest’s monkey from the Albertine Rift.
Visitors can enjoy the wonders of the forest or indulge themselves for a week or longer in one of Africa’s most gorgeous woods, thanks to 15 paths, some of which are mentioned below, as well as several other activities.
