Nestled in the southwestern part of Rwanda, in the picturesque town of Cyangungu, lies the expansive and awe-inspiring Nyungwe National Park. This beautiful oasis, adjacent to Lake Kivu and close to the borders of Burundi and the DR Congo, sprawls over 970 km² of lush green land.
This haven, which began its journey as a forest reserve in 1903, has evolved over the past century. It was officially recognized as a National Park in 2004, symbolizing Rwanda’s commitment to conservation.
The heart of the park, the Nyungwe Forest, is its most treasured asset. This forest stands as the largest remaining montane forest in Africa and has been a silent witness to the world’s changes since the Ice Age.
The park’s topography, characterized by a mix of mountains, hills and plains ensures a flourishing ecosystem.
It boasts a staggering 1,060 recorded plant species and 85 mammal species, with a special spotlight on its 13 primate species including the rare owl-faced monkeys, golden monkeys and the Angola Colobys Monkey.
