Nyungwe Forest National Park, a mist-shrouded montane rainforest in southwest Rwanda, blankets 1,019 square kilometers of steep ridges and deep valleys. One of Africa’s oldest forests, it harbors 13 primate species—including habituated chimpanzees, black-and-white colobus, and L’Hoest’s monkeys—plus 300 bird species, from great blue turacos to Rwenzori nightjars. Canopy walkways sway 50 meters above fern-draped floors, while 130 kilometers of trails lead to thundering waterfalls and orchid-rich bogs. Managed with the Rwanda Development Board, Nyungwe stands as a global biodiversity hotspot and a serene escape into ancient, emerald wilderness.
