About This Tour
The Canopy Walk is one of the most exhilarating and unforgettable ways to explore the Nyungwe Forest National Park in Rwanda. Nestled between the slopes and impenetrable valleys, the park's magical landscape creates a stunning backdrop for this unique adventure. This ridge divides the Nile and Congo watersheds — raindrops falling on either side travel over 5,000 km before reaching separate oceans! 🌍💧
Nyungwe Forest is a haven for biodiversity, home to 13 species of primates (including the rare L’Hoest’s monkey 🐒), 300 bird species 🦜, 75 mammal species 🦁, and over 1,000 types of plants 🌱 — including 140 unique species of orchids 🌸. It's a true natural treasure.
