Nyungwe National Park protects one of Africa's oldest rainforests and is home to the largest biodiversity in Rwanda. The park feeds two of the largest rivers in the world, the Congo and the Nile, and supplies 70% of the country's fresh water.

Nyungwe's biggest attraction is the tracking of chimpanzees: over the years, they have become used to human visits. But it is also the habitat of other primate species, such as the Angolan colobi, Dent monkeys, gray-cheeked mangabeys, baboons and vervet monkeys, among others.

The park has 15 trails that facilitate the observation of animals and an elevated bridge over the trees, allowing a different perspective on wildlife. There are 75 known mammals in Nyungwe, such as the cerval, the mongoose, the congo clawless otter and the leopard.
