Nyungwe National Park — Wildlife
Chimpanzee tracking, Ruwenzori colobus troops, and East Africa’s iconic canopy walkway
Ecology in context
Chimpanzee tracking and ridge trails define Nyungwe—fast-moving groups, altitudinal forest bands, and the canopy walkway for a different perspective on Albertine biodiversity.

Viewing etiquette
Respect 7 m primate distance rules where applicable, silence during treks, and savanna vehicle protocols. Hire porters where offered—fair wages support buffer communities around Volcanoes and Nyungwe.
