Nyungwe National Park
Nyungwe National Park is a high-altitude rainforest reserve in
the Rwandan section of the Albertine Rift. Known for its extreme
biodiversity, Nyungwe is home to primates like chimpanzees, colobus
monkeys, vervet monkeys, owl-faced monkeys and olive baboons, among
others. There are several good trekking trails in Nyungwe,
including the Waterfall Trail for bird-watchers, the Gisakura Tea
Estate Trail for monkey-lovers, and the Kamiranzovu Trail for
elephant spotters. Visitors to Nyungwe National park should be
prepared to get wet, as the rainforest receives more than 79 inches
(2,000mm) of rain each year.
