The tour guide from Adventure in the wild safaris will pick you up very early in the morning from your hotel or the airport to begin the arduous trek to Nyungwe forest in Rwanda’s south-west. You should receive a briefing on what to expect and the time range for each activity before starting the journey. The trip gives you the opportunity to take in lovely vistas of the Rwandan countryside. You’ll comprehend why the phrase “A land of a thousand hills” is frequently used to describe Rwanda. You will head straight to the lodge for check-in, refreshments, and leisure as you are in the forest.

You’ll get up early and have breakfast at your hotel before heading to the Nyungwe Forest offices for the chimpanzee tracking briefing. You only need to follow the Guides far into the forest because they know where to find the chimpanzees. Once you’ve located the chimpanzee, make sure you get enough pictures and spend some time observing the animals’ behavior.
After your chimpanzee tracking expedition, return to your accommodation for lunch and get ready to go on the Canopy walk. It enables you to view the park from above and observe more monkeys and birds from a fresh perspective.
