Nyungwe is an ideal destination for lovers of primates and the most popular hiking/trek experience, is chimpanzee trekking.

Sightings may not be as reliable or as clear as gorillas, since the chimps often remain in dense forest, so the sightings vary quite significantly. However, their engaging playfulness and human-like characteristics make the long day worthwhile. The best chance of seeing them is when they’re high up in the trees before they come down to forage for food.

The duration of your trek depends on the location of the chimps – this could take from 30 minutes to 2 hours to find them. Once you meet the trackers and are with the chimpanzees, as with the mountain gorillas, you’ll have an hour to observe them.

On this trip, we will also do the 200m canopy walk way, this bridge adjourned between the huge trees one on the feel of the fresh air, 60m above the forest floor, and it’s the only one of its kind in east Africa and the third on the African continent. And finally,  after the 10km hike with a visit to Nyungwe’s Ishuno water falls that are beautiful.

On our TJD Series to Nyungwe Forest, we also include Archery, Tea plantation visit and much more!
