Nyungwe National Park: A Pristine Rainforest Adventure

Discover the Heart of Rwanda's Biodiversity

Nyungwe National Park, a lush, verdant expanse nestled in the southwestern highlands of Rwanda, is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. As one of Africa's largest mountain rainforests, Nyungwe offers a unique blend of natural beauty, biodiversity, and adventure opportunities.

A Haven for Wildlife and Nature Lovers

Explore the Canopy Walk: Take a breathtaking walk through the treetops on Nyungwe's iconic canopy walk. Suspended high above the forest floor, this unique experience offers panoramic views of the rainforest and its diverse flora and fauna. The canopy walk is approximately 1,600 meters long and reaches a height of 70 meters above the ground.

Spot Rare Bird Species: Nyungwe is a birder's paradise, boasting over 300 species, including the elusive Albertine Rift endemic species. Keep your eyes peeled for the shy Rwenzori Turaco, the colorful Red-throated Alethe, and the elusive Great Blue Turaco. The park is home to 13 species of Albertine Rift endemic birds, making it a hotspot for birdwatchers.

Encounter Diverse Wildlife: Beyond birds, Nyungwe is home to a variety of mammals, including chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, and the elusive Lhokohola shrew. With a bit of luck, you might also encounter the endangered golden monkey, a rare and elusive primate found only in this region. The park is home to four species of great apes, including chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, and the Lhokohola shrew, which is endemic to the Albertine Rift.

Planning Your Nyungwe Adventure

Essential Gear and Packing Tips: Pack comfortable hiking shoes, rain gear, insect repellent, and binoculars. Don't forget to bring a camera to capture the stunning scenery and wildlife encounters.

Accommodation Options: Choose from a range of accommodations, from budget-friendly campsites to luxurious lodges. Consider your preferences and budget when selecting your lodging.

How to Get There: Nyungwe National Park is accessible by road from Kigali, Rwanda's capital city. The journey takes approximately 3-4 hours, and you can rent a car or take a guided tour.

Best Time to Visit: The dry seasons (December to February and June to August) are generally the best times to visit Nyungwe, as the weather is more pleasant and the trails are easier to navigate.

Unforgettable Activities

Chimpanzee Trekking: Embark on an unforgettable adventure to track chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Observe these intelligent primates as they swing through the trees and interact with each other. Chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe is a popular activity, but permits are limited and must be booked in advance.

Colobus Monkey Tracking: Spot the black and white colobus monkeys, a common sight in Nyungwe's forests. These agile primates are known for their beautiful coats and acrobatic skills.

Waterfall Hikes: Discover hidden waterfalls nestled deep within the rainforest. Take a refreshing swim in the natural pools or simply enjoy the peaceful ambiance. Nyungwe is home to several stunning waterfalls, including the Kamiranzovu Falls and the Bigugu Falls.

Cultural Experiences: Immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting nearby villages and learning about the traditions and customs of the people who live in this region.

Conservation and Sustainability

Responsible Travel: Help support Nyungwe's conservation efforts by practicing responsible tourism. Avoid littering, respect wildlife, and support local communities.

Community-Based Tourism Initiatives: Learn about the community-based tourism projects that are helping to protect Nyungwe and improve the lives of local people. Nyungwe National Park has several successful community-based tourism initiatives, such as the Uwinka Community Tourism Project.

Nyungwe's Ecological Importance: Understand the critical role of Nyungwe National Park in conserving biodiversity and protecting the region's water resources. Nyungwe is home to over 1,300 plant species, including 270 tree species. The park is also a vital source of water for the surrounding communities.

Beyond Nyungwe: Exploring Rwanda

Lake Kivu: Relax on the shores of Lake Kivu, a stunning volcanic lake with crystal-clear waters. Enjoy water sports, island hopping, or simply soak up the sun.

Akagera National Park: Experience the savannah landscapes of Akagera National Park, home to a variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, and giraffes.

Volcanoes National Park: Embark on a gorilla trekking adventure in Volcanoes National Park, another UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its mountain gorilla populations.

Nyungwe National Park offers a truly unforgettable experience for travelers seeking adventure, natural beauty, and a deeper connection with the environment. With its diverse ecosystems, unique wildlife, and rich cultural heritage, Nyungwe is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Rwanda.

Kadoo Travels and Tours Akagera National Park Trip: Highlight of our remarkable day.

A promising dawn

We recently had a wonderful adventure at Akagera national park. Here is a story of how the adventure went, and what made the trip remarkable. As a group of excited, and curious travelers, we started our day early in the dawn to make sure we captured the earliest beam of the sunrise. A quiet ambience, promising morning and cheerful faces is what characterized the beautiful morning as each of us drew closer to the meeting point. “Today will be a great day. I can’t believe I am going to spot an elephant up close: it’s always been my favorite animal …” and other phrases rolled out as we all poured out our expectations for the adventurous day ahead.

 Taking off for our adventure

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step (Lao Tzu). This has always been only a proverb to us until we took off our meeting point. Little did we know that this was going to take us to our dream destination, the Akagera national park. It felt welcoming to see various stunning towns and their monuments along the way. In a blink of an eye, we took a stop over, a short moment to take some coffee and snacks, because (guess what?”) we had a long day ahead, so we needed to start strong and energized. Plus, the coffee would help us to stay awake all day so that no scenery escapes our capture.

The closer we drew to the park’s main entrance, the more excited we became for what nature held for us. We took the south eastern part and finally arrived at the main entrance. There is no greater feeling than what we had when we saw the sign post that read: “Akagera National Park - 13 km to the main entrance”. After the identification check up on the reception, our tour guide (so humble and knowledgeable), took us through the history and the geographical information of the park. He gave us insights into the Akagera’s natural ecosystem, and our behavioral expectations for an optimum and safer experience. 

Excitement skyrockets as we set off our game drive

Who doesn’t like to see their hopes and expectations come true! It restores one’s soul and brings about heartfelt joy, right? This is what we felt when we took off from the entrance and set our drive into the wildlife homestead, itself. Should I recount all the animals we saw? I’d be happy to, but it can take me decades. I’ll cut the story short, nevertheless. After a one hour game drive without spotting any animal, we suddenly found one. Guess what, this was a graceful waterbuck grazing in green pastures. Later on, we saw a black mamba, the wild boar, as well as other unique animals, let alone colorful birds and medicinal plants.

The joy of spotting the animal you’ve always loved

Every time we saw an animal, we had to stop the car, keep our silence, pull out our binoculars to have an enhanced view of the animals, and take some photos. Sometimes, the crazy, impatient ones couldn’t hold themselves but explode in happiness and wonder (You could hear sounds like: Wooooooow, amaaaazing!), which sometimes chased the animals away (they feel so unsafe with noise especially if it is unfamiliar). As we kept on the chase, we came across a playful herd of zebras and antelopes sunbathing and grazing near a lake. Our guide could tell us detailed uncommon facts about each animal such as its names, family attributes, and relevant conservation stories. This, and other insightful moments we shared, made our day even brighter. 

After a 2.5 game drive, it was now time to take lunch. We stopped by the Shakani camping site, by the shore of Lake Shakani (there are 12 lakes in Akagera), and shared a delicious lunch, took some photos, and told a bunch of stories. One of the benefits of traveling is the power to connect like-minded people who wouldn’t otherwise meet. In the rest of the afternoon, we kept on the game drive, but this time our main focus was on the big 5 (the savanna giants), which was the first item on our to-see list. Blessed enough, we came across the giraffe, the buffaloes, but most importantly, the elephant. 

Animals: Can they teach us big life lessons?

Of all the animals we spotted, the elephant was a game changer. We spotted them last, but we watched them for a while and enjoyed taking amazing close pictures of these giants. We loved how peaceful and caring they are to their families. They live in families and graze together. They can’t allow other animals to fight in their presence. That’s why among all other animals of the park, they are called peace makers. Did you know that as soon as they detect danger, elephants form a circular fence to protect their calves? This reminded us how, if we truly open our eyes and take on more adventures like this, we can all learn from animals. We wrapped up our trip by taking a few more photos, for these memories deserved to be kept as a treasure. 

Why visit Rwanda? and why is Kadoo Travels your prime travel partner?

But why do we, Kadoo Travels and Tours, take these and similar initiatives to help others visit, learn about and marvel at the beautiful nature gems in Rwanda? Simple, just because we were the first to understand and value the unmatched beauty of our motherland. 

Yes, Rwanda has it all: awe-inspiring wildlife, unique travel facilities, world-famous business and Technology facilitation, and so much more! The world needs to know this, and do something. That's why we're here! We can't wait to witness even more treasures that nature holds for us!

See How You Can Book Your Dream Safari to Africa Without Making Advance Payment. This is Beautiful!

Africa has some the most beautiful places, parks, lakes cultures and people. Millions of travelers going to Africa for Safari rely on local contacts or the Internet to get first-hand information or make decisions on which countries to visit. How does it feel if you can book your dream safari to Africa with making advance payment? Isn’t it awesome? There are tens of thousands of companies across Africa. One company stands out because of their free in-house financial protection (See the name of recommended Safari company at the end of the article). You can fully book your Africa Safari without making any payment and pay later. Of course this is based on trust, and trust is what we all want. But first things first, here is a summary of some of Africa’s best places for Safari.

1. UGANDA — The Pearl of Africa

For anyone looking to discover some place beautiful and off the beaten track, Uganda is a top tourist destination with something for everyone. Uganda offers Africa as you’ve always imagined it — wild, verdant, beautiful, and just waiting to be explored. Uganda is very nearly the most complete safari destination in Africa — boasting both the Big Five, the enigmatic mountain gorillas, and the ever-popular chimpanzee. Uganda’s Big Five are represented across the country’s top ten national parks.

2. TANZANIA — The Wildebeest Capital of The World

Tanzanian safari allows you to explore some of the best National Parks in Africa; Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Thousands of tourists visit Tanzania every year. Thousands more planning their safari to Africa are wondering whether to choose a Tanzania Safari. It’s hard to totally narrow down why every traveler should visit Tanzania when there is so much to see. Tanzania is a country with unbeatable natural resources, stunning landscapes, spectacular wildlife, historical and cultural riches, watersports, wildebeest migration in Serengeti, highest mountain in Africa and the deepest lake in Africa.

3. SOUTH AFRICA — Africa’s Best

South Africa is one of the famous Safari destinations in the world. The Kruger National Park is the most famous Big 5 destination in the country but South Africa also has a growing selection of superb game parks and private reserves.

South Africa’s varied terrain allows you to spot desert-adapted dwellers like pangolin or anteaters in Tswalu in the heart of the Kalahari. You can spend time in the Cape Winelands, exploring the beautiful estates, sampling award-winning wines in cool cellars and on vine-covered patios, and sampling some of the world’s best cuisine in its sumptuous restaurants.

4. RWANDA — The Land of a Thousand Hills

Rwanda is situated in the African great lakes region. Rwanda has healed the wounds from a devastating genocide more than two decades ago, it has emerged as one of East Africa’s premier travel destinations. Rwanda is one of only three places in the world where you can trek some of the world’s remaining 880 mountain gorillas. Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is the most famous destination in Rwanda. It has become synonymous with mountain gorilla trekking safaris and no visit to the country would be complete without visiting these majestic primates.

5. KENYA — The Magical Country

Kenya is known as the safari capital of the world because of its amazing wildlife, beaches, birds and weather. Visitors to Kenya are spoiled for choice — you can choose to visit any or all of the twenty three national parks or the thirteen national reserves. Millions of travelers go to Kenya to witness the Great Migration or chase the Big Five. The ‘Big 5’ — the elephant, rhinoceros, lion, leopard, and cape buffalo — can all be found in Kenya’s parks, with other popular animals such as the giraffe, cheetah, and zebras. Kenya is a great country for a day safari or a multi-park tour. Headlined by the world renowned Masai Mara National Park, some of its parks located mere hours from the city center.

6. EGYPT — Culture and the Pyramids

Egypt is a spectacularly beautiful country filled with cultural gems. Egypt has abundance of ancient historical sites, bustling cities and one of the best water-sport destinations on the planet. The Middle Eastern countries are very well-known for their hospitality and Egypt is no exception. Egyptians love their country passionately and will do everything they can to make you feel welcome. Go anywhere else in Egypt though and you will meet some of the kindest people in the world who will always have a cup of tea for you. The locals are definitely one of the best reasons to visit Egypt.

7. MALAWI — Endless Beauty

Malawi may be one of Africa’s smallest countries but when it comes to exploration and adventure, it has tremendous amounts to offer; from grasslands and forests, mountaintops, unspoilt wildlife parks to Africa’s third largest and most beautiful Lake! Situated on the Great Rift Valley, Malawi is dominated by Lake Malawi, a magnificent body of water, 365 miles long and 52 miles wide (hence sometimes referred to as the calendar lake!). It’s teaming with life including over 400 species of cichlid fish, a lot of which are endemic to it. Most of Lake Malawi’s astounding underwater diversity is protected within the Lake Malawi National Park which is a World Heritage site and also one of the first in the world set aside for the protection of freshwater fish.

COME, LET’S GO TO AFRICA

An African safari is something that everyone should experience at least once. It offers the chance to let go of the pressures of everyday life and embrace instead the primal call of the wild. It’s a chance to see unique flora and fauna in its natural habitat, and to find yourself uplifted by the breathtaking scenery of the African savannah. African safaris are available to everyone. As in, they are cheaper than any other form of international travel.

USE A LOCAL OPERATOR

No matter where you go, local tour guides and safari companies offer better rates than international companies. In particular, choosing a local operator can be a great way to keep costs reasonable. In addition to the lower cost, the pros of booking locally include an increased chance of last-minute availability.
