Nyungwe Forest National Park is a vast, biodiverse rainforest in Rwanda, renowned for its chimpanzee trekking, canopy walks, and numerous hiking trails offering stunning views and encounters with diverse flora and fauna. Accessibility within the park can be challenging due to the rugged terrain, so guided tours are highly recommended to navigate the trails and spot wildlife effectively. While the park is generally open year-round, the dry season (June to September and December to February) offers the most favorable hiking conditions. Expect to spend at least 2-3 days to fully experience the park, with costs varying depending on chosen activities like chimpanzee trekking permits (which are quite expensive) and accommodation. Solo exploration is possible on some trails, but a guide enhances safety and enriches the experience. Be prepared for unpredictable weather and bring appropriate gear.
