Nyungwe National Park Tours from Volcanoes National Park: Chimpanzees and Gorillas

Nyungwe National Park tours from Volcanoes National Park – Volcanoes are situated in Rwanda, a land of a thousand hills far away from home, filled with natural wonders, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. The peaceful volcanoes are home to numerous species, such as the majestic mountain gorillas, a sight every tourist desires to witness.

However, this experience involves trekking through the mountain, passing within the lush rainforest, where you can admire the colorful birds, flowers, and monkeys. Remember, do not pluck any leaves or flowers—let’s keep the beauty shining. “Nature is life when cared for.”

As you venture deeper into the park, you will encounter herbivores, which are more welcoming than the carnivores.

The carnivores are feared, and the tour guide always instructs you to remain calm and follow his instructions if you happen to meet one.

Do not forget the reptiles, such as crocodiles, which are carnivorous and live both in water and on land.

For this reason, it is often advised not to wander around without a tour guide.

This package is very adventurous as it combines two parks (Nyungwe and Volcanoes), offering a variety of tours you can choose from, including:

6-Day Rwanda Chimpanzee and Heavenly Monkeys Trekking

This 6-day tour starts in Kigali and takes you to the Volcanoes National Park before heading to Nyungwe National Park , where you will do chimpanzee trekking and encounter chimpanzees.

These peaceful creatures should not be mimicked or disturbed in their natural habitat.

These safaris usually take a full day and include a variety of activities.

The tour concludes with visitors returning to Kigali.

7-Day Highlights of Rwanda

This 7-day journey to explore the land of a thousand hills begins in Kigali, driving straight to Nyungwe National Park.

You will pass by Lake Kivu as you head to Volcanoes National Park, and on the seventh day, you return to Kigali.

6-Day Volcanoes and Nyungwe National Park

6-Day Volcanoes and Nyungwe National Park Adventure awaits in this package, combining chimpanzees and gorillas in one trip, saving time for visitors, especially those who are time-conscious.

You can travel by road, which is cheaper but takes around 6-7 hours, or by air, which is more expensive but very fast and reliable.

Please note, drones are not allowed in chimpanzee areas, as these sensitive species can be easily disturbed.
