Nyungwe National Park in February – Nyungwe National Park marks the end of the dry season, allowing tourists to witness the vegetation as it undergoes significant changes.
This dry month is characterized by increasing temperatures ranging from 18°C to 28°C, with higher humidity as the wet season approaches, accompanied by occasional rain showers—conditions that can impact your planning for Rwanda safaris.
For this reason, it is advised to pack waterproof clothes and rain jackets to shield yourself from the rain.
Sunglasses, hats, and insect repellent are also essential, as February brings a mix of rain and sunshine, meaning you are likely to encounter Africa’s stingy insects.
Excellence is what we aim for, so shoot your shot in February and enjoy ventures such as:
Butterfly Spotting
Butterfly Spotting when the weather becomes warm, it attracts a variety of species searching for water. Butterflies are also abundant during this season.
Stay calm and position yourself in the right spot, ready to take photographs, but be sure to remove the flash, as it may scare away these beautiful, colorful butterflies.
Bird-watching
Bird-watching is a serene experience as you explore the park. Birds are very sensitive to noise, so even a loud cough can scare them away. Relax and enjoy the beautiful view as the birds sing an angelic song.
You can also take the opportunity to note their breeding cycles to enhance your understanding when exploring.
The means of transport options to the park is either by road or air, depending on your budget.
Road transport takes around 6-7 hours, while air travel is swift, and within minutes you will already be at the park, viewing different features from a bird’s-eye view.
If you choose road transport, you may have the chance to make stopovers, and you can either take a bus or hire a car—just make sure to double-check it before using it.
