Nyungwe
Forest National Park is
located 225 Kilometers from Kigali, Rwanda. Nyungwe
Forest National Park is an enormous tropical forest
with a high canopy. Access is easy, but start on one
of the guided walking/hiking trails and you'll rapidly
realize just how big it is.
Tall
old mahoganies, ebonies and giant tree ferns tower above
you, whilst orchids and other epiphytes cling to every
branch. Brightly colored birds flit around, butterflies
are everywhere, and walking quietly you may encounter
larger forest residents.
Nyungwe
Forest is, in fact, the largest swathe of montane forest
left in East or Central Africa. It harbors about 275
different birds, hundreds of butterflies and orchids,
and over 75 different species of mammals – including
13 primates (about a quarter of all Africa's primates).
The
forest walks here are excellent, lasting from one to
six or seven hours. We can arrange for you to track
chimpanzees, or search for Ruwenzori colobus monkeys,
which can be found here in troupes of several hundred.
Other primates such as the l'Hoest's monkey and the
grey-cheeked mangabey are often sighted as well. The
birds are spectacular, though as in most tropical forests,
you'll have to look hard for them. Giant hornbills,
great blue turacos and red-breasted sparrow hawks are
amongst the specials, of which 24 are endemic to this
section of the Rift Valley.
Accommodation
here, in the ORTPN Rest house (also known as Gisakura
Guesthouse), is very conveniently situated on the edge
of the forest. It has simple rooms but the team is friendly
and helpful.
A
more luxurious option is the new Nyungwe Forest Lodge.
This too is very well positioned, and has good views
overlooking the forest canopy from a ridge to one side
and a tea-plantation on the other.
