Nyungwe National Park in June – June welcomes the dry season, which is considered the best time to explore Rwanda, as the land is dry, providing clear passage into Nyungwe National Park.
Road transport may become uncomfortable as you traverse the rural areas of the park, but if you’re on a luxury budget, you can also access Nyungwe by air.
There are many activities to enjoy, such as primate tracking, which is highly favorable during this time due to the dry conditions.
However, since you are entering a rain-forest, be prepared for cold weather and occasional rain, so be sure to pack a sweater and waterproof clothes.
Upon entry, you will be briefed on the park’s rules and regulations, which include:
- You must obtain a permit from the Rwanda Development Board before entering the park, as you will not be allowed entry without it.
- All visitors must be accompanied by a certified guide to ensure the safety of everyone.
- Avoid deviating from designated trails, as this helps protect the vegetation (plucking leaves or uprooting roots is prohibited) and wildlife.
- A clean environment creates a healthy stay. Do not litter the park, as wild animals may ingest harmful items, leading to their death.
- Feeding the wildlife is not allowed, as animals need to hunt for their own food.
- Noise can disturb sensitive species and fellow tourists, so maintain a peaceful environment for everyone.
- Smoking is prohibited, as it may start fires that could endanger wildlife.
- Be respectful of nearby local communities and their property.
After being briefed on the rules, you can proceed to explore most parts of the park and observe various animal species.
Many visitors may also wish to head west to the local communities, where the sound of drums will alert you that you’ve entered the land of the culture.
The local people are very friendly and will likely share their social traditions and how they’ve managed to survive deep in the rural jungle.
