Nyungwe national park management opened a canopy walk and it’s the only of its kind in East Africa, it also a wonderful vantage point which helps at viewing the beautiful biodiversity of this rare rain forest. The canopy walk was opened in Rwanda at a time when the country is being recognized as a top global travel destination by lonely planet in 2009

Highlights

  • Getting to the canopy is also about 2 hours from the starting point at Uwinka visitor Centre.
  • The forest is on a mountain and the hike is also slippery due to the mere fact that the ground on which the guests trek is wet and so moist. Viewing the canopy on arrival, most especially for those that are fear heights, this could also be described as the endless walk to hell.
  • This bridge adjourned between the huge trees one on the feel of the fresh air, 60m above the forest floor. Apart from the freshness in the air and the wonderful aerial view of the trees, you will also enjoy the sights of the fantastic birds that fly across as you enjoy the walk. This canopy walk is the most preferred activity for the park visitors and it’s one of those you want to try before you die.it was opened in 2010 and it’s the only one of its kind in east Africa and the third on the African continent. This 90m long canopy walk way also gives a unique face to face meetings with the butterflies, birds and the monkeys.
  • The hard wood trees also occupy the upper canopy as the lower part is dominated with the large selection of the purple orchids and the lush flora as well as fauna that curl better in the higher altitudes.
