Best Sundowner Spots in Nyungwe National Park – As the day succumbs to the allure of twilight, Nyungwe National Park transforms into a serene oasis, inviting adventurous tourists to its mesmerizing sun-downer spots.
These spots stretch from Gisakura Visitors Centre, perched on a hill boasting panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.
Sit on a comfortable rock and wait for the sun to set, turning the sky orange and creating a memory of a lifetime.
At dawn, start your day with a hearty breakfast and, led by an experienced tour guide, head to Uwinka Visitors Centre.
This location, nestled in a valley, offers stunning greenery, surrounded by colorful butterflies that are worth filming.
Feel free to take photographs, and then continue to Karamiranzovu Waterfall, which offers a peaceful picnic sundowner, perfect for visitors seeking quietness and relaxation.
This spot is also great for researchers, with tour guides available to brief you on the area’s physical features and how they came into existence.
You can also explore the canopy walk, visiting different locations in the park on foot.
While some visitors may find it tiresome, this is one of the most adventurous activities, as it allows you to walk behind various species under the guidance of your tour guide.
You can even pose near some of the more dangerous species, such as lions, or hike into the Nyungwe Forest, which is home to a variety of primates.
Resting areas are provided to ensure a comfortable journey. However, be mindful of the park’s rules and regulations:
- Do not pluck or uproot leaves, as feeding any species is prohibited, as it may disrupt their daily routine.
Without further ado, let me take you through other rules and regulations of the park:
- Littering is a crime: Ensure you dispose of rubbish in the allocated bins or keep it with you until you leave the park.
- Noise or loud sounds are forbidden: Most animal species are very sensitive to noise and will hide, making it difficult to spot them.
- Roaming without a tour guide is not allowed: This is for your safety, as it prevents getting lost or being attacked by dangerous predators. You roam at your own risk if you venture without a guide.
Nyungwe National Park is for everyone—come and enjoy the serene sun-downers!
