Nyungwe Forest National Park

isiting Nyungwe Forest National Park in Rwanda was one of the highlights of my trip. The park is a lush, untouched rainforest, alive with the sounds of birds, primates, and rushing streams.

The canopy walkway was the standout experience—swaying high above the treetops with endless green stretching to the horizon. I spotted black-and-white colobus monkeys leaping through the branches and heard chimpanzees calling in the distance.

Hiking the trails felt like stepping back in time: waterfalls hidden deep in the forest, orchids clinging to mossy trees, and guides sharing stories about local traditions and medicinal plants.
