Gishwati-Mukura National Park, Rwanda's fourth national park, offers a unique ecotourism experience centered around its reforestation efforts and chimpanzee tracking. Accessibility can be challenging due to the terrain, so guided tours are highly recommended to navigate the park and maximize wildlife sightings. Solo visits are generally discouraged for safety and conservation reasons. The dry season (June to September and December to February) is the best time to visit for optimal trekking conditions. Expect to pay park fees and tour costs, potentially totaling several hundred dollars per person depending on the activities chosen. A typical visit can range from a day trip focused on specific activities to a multi-day experience exploring both Gishwati and Mukura forests. Be aware that permits are required for chimpanzee tracking and should be booked in advance.
