Visit Nyungwe Forest Rwanda for Chimpanzee tracking

Nyungwe Forest is the most ancient montane forest in East or Central Africa characterises this 1000 sq km park. This has allowed a range of floral diversity of great depth with more than 200 species of trees and many flowering plants including the giant lobelia and a number of orchid varieties.

The main motivation for visiting the park is to experience the variety of primates, 13 species in all; Chimpanzees, L'Hoests monkey and large troops of Angola colobus are three key species. There are around 300 species of birds of which two dozen are endemic to the Albertine Rift. The most famous bird and a greatly desired TICK on any birders list, is the giant blue turaco who announces his dinosaur like passing with a distinct mechanical flapping of wings overhead.

The forest has an easy to follow network of walking trails which cover the forest extensively and allow views of the plentiful waterfalls. Tracking of chimpanzees has around a 60% chance of success and seeing most of the primates will require a two day stay. The park is only a short distance from Butare and Cyangugu . Most of the accommodation is basic the only high end accommodation is in the newly built Nyungwe Forest Lodge.

Safari Destinations

Zanzibar Beach

Just like Tanzania, Zanzibar is three hours in the advance of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+3). It doesn't operate daylight saving time, and consequently there's no time difference between Zanzibar's summer and winter months.

Discover Uganda

Uganda is a truly “authentic” safari destination - definitely less sophisticated than Tanzania or Kenya in terms of infrastructure and not in the same “big game” league, but equally untouched and as genuine as Africa gets.
Uganda’s gorillas, chimps, birds and the wider range of special-interest attractions (from butterflies to orchids) makes it a perfect match for first timers and seasoned African visitors alike.

Visit Tanzania

Tanzania home to Africa's most dramatic and famous features.  Fantastic wildlife, stunning scenery and idyllic beaches Tanzania is virtually unrivalled in terms of wildlife population and diversity. From the biggest African plains, the Serengeti, to the highest African mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro, to the deepest African Lake Tanganyika.
Pemba offers classic tropical beaches to those wanting to get away from the crowds, whilst the Selous Game Reserve never disappoints those looking for lion and elephant!
