Main Info
Nyungwe forest is probably the most preserved forest in Africa. Some say it is the most important site for biodiversity in Rwanda. It is home to over 1000 species of creation after all. Tourists enjoy Primate Walks in the region and love the canopy walk offered by the park. A combination of what this park has to offer with Gorilla Trekking makes it worthy to be called a Primate Tour.
