Day 3Chimpanzee trekking, canopy walk in Nyungwe National Park

After an early morning breakfast at around 5:30 am, you will drive to this park for the starting point of your chimpanzee trek. Two species of chimpanzee occur in Africa. There is the Bonobo and the Common Chimpanzee Pan troglodytes (often shortened to Chimpanzee, and sometimes referred to as the Robust Chimpanzee). The largest remaining populations occur in central Africa (Gabon, DR Congo and Cameroon). About only 400 individuals, the population in Rwanda is an endangered one. However; it should be mentioned that it is not guaranteed to see the chimps as they are unpredictable and can move long distances in one day.

Nyungwe National Park is the largest block of montane forest in East and Central Africa and it is an incredibly rich area of biodiversity. After the trek return to your Hotel, have lunch and in the afternoon enter the forest again for the canopy walk.

The Canopy walk: The Canopy walk is located in the middle of Igishigishi trail and is the biggest walkway in East Africa which is, at its highest point, situated at 90m above the ground, which should enable trekking tourist to gain inside of the upper tree level as well as their inhabitant such as different primates, birds and Orchids. The whole process of planning and building the canopy took at least five years during which there were mainly 250 men constantly involved in the construction process.

After the tour you will return to your Lodge and the rest of the evening enjoying the breeze of the nature of the surroundings. This takes approximately 4 hours walk.
