Primates and Birds in Nyungwe

A 4 day safari which starts and finishes in Kigali. This safari can also be done as a private safari. This safari can also be done as an extension to Classic Uganda and Rwanda.

Nyungwe, a massive montane forest, in southern Rwanda is the largest in Central Africa and has thirteen species of primate including chimpanzee and large groups of Rwenzori colobus. Tracking is on steep slippery hillsides and viewing is unpredictable. Around 300 bird species, orchids and butterflies are other attractions.

On safari clients stay 3 nights at the basic ORTPN Gisakura Resthouse on the western edge of the Nyungwe forest.
