DETAILED TOUR ITINERARY

Arrival/Pickup in Kigali – to Nyungwe Forest for Chimpanzee Trekking

After your breakfast early in the morning at 5 am, Our driver-guide will pick you up at the hotel to start off the 1 Day Nyungwe Forest Chimpanzee Trekking trip with an impressive 3 hours scenic drive southwards heading to Nyungwe Forest National Park. Along the way, we will have beautiful stopovers at Rwanda’s cultural centers such as the Royal Palace Museum and Ethnographic Museum for narration about Rwanda’s historical leadership after which we head for our next stopover for lunch before eventually reaching the entrance of Nyungwe forest national park. By around 8:30 am we shall attend the briefing about chimpanzee trekking and later start the chimpanzee trek until we locate them by following their hooting sounds in the forest.

 

You will be allowed to spend a maximum of one hour with the chimpanzees as you enjoy their playful nature and human-like intelligence (since they are referred to as Human’s closest cousins). You will retire at the park headquarters after the trek to prepare and get transferred by our guide to Kigali at either your booked hotel or at the airport for your outbound evening flight. That will be the end of your 1-day Chimpanzee trekking in Rwanda.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Verien Uwineza

What a wonderful experience! Travelling with “African Travellers LTD” gave me those memorable moments… Enjoyed Akagera and Virunga National parks. But, particularly I loved your way of treating people, and the skills you got while explaining some details about cultural and traditional places… you enthralled my team with the story of some of those animals … I thought I knew much about my country, but I now agree that I knew less; your guide pointed out the most significant items and explained their context and meaning. Thanks!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Jacqueline Rutto

I got excellent and timely support from the team. Very professional, readily available for inquiries, and their feedback to my many questions was spot on. I highly recommend!
