Fantastic two days
I did the canopy walk and chimpanzee trekking. It was a fantastic experience! Canopy walk was terrifying if you’re afraid of heights but great views and chimpanzee trekking is amazing. Very professional and entertaining would use them again if I was in Rwanda!

Unforgettable Nature Trip - Best Operator of Rwanda!
Rwagasabo Safaris is the best operator in the country! I booked this unforgettable nature tour with them, along with equally amazing city tours in Kigali. Mr. Serge Placide has been very helpful and accommodating to ensure the trip to Rwanda went smooth and fun.

Best tour of Nyungwe
Rwagasabo Safaris offers the best private tour for Nyungwe Forest National Park! Serge made it possible for me to experience everything I wanted in the short time I had to spend in this amazing place. He was responsive and very accommodating. I booked my tour less than a week before my trip and the only permit available for a chimpanzee trek was at 5:30am the morning after I arrived in Kigali. I asked Serge if I could be picked up from the Kigali airport and driven overnight to Nyungwe, and Serge made this happen! Serge and Fabrice met me at the Kigali airport when my flight arrived late at night. Serge took me to a restaurant to get some dinner before Fabrice drove me overnight to Nyungwe. I arrived in time for the chimp trek with nine other people and a park guide. Fabrice drove the guide and me to the starting point from the visitor center. I got the impression that Serge and Fabrice have great relationships with the park guides, which made the logistics of everything smooth. The chimpanzee trek was fascinating! We found 3 large male chimps and got to spend one hour observing them. They climbed up and down the trees. One built a nest. We watched as they ate figs by the handful and spit them out after chewing them up. After the chimpanzee trek, Serge called Fabrice to check whether I wanted to rest or do the canopy walk. I was feeling energized by the chimp trek so I did the canopy walk with Fabrice and a park guide. We saw monkeys on the hike and the views from the suspension bridge were beautiful. The park guide graciously humored my request for him to take photos (from the ground) of me on the bridge. I had requested to stay at the Nyungwe Hill Top View Hotel and I’m so glad Serge was able to book me there. I had a spectacular view from my cottage bedroom and porch. The next day I hiked the Ndambarare Trail with a park guide to a waterfall. I had seen photos of the waterfall before my trip, but it was more impressive in person! After the hike, as we were driving out of the area, Fabrice spotted a baboon on the side of the road! He stopped so we could observe it right next to the jeep. Fabrice then drove me to the Murambi Genocide Memorial. I had read about this memorial online before my trip and when I booked my tour, I asked Serge if I could visit the memorial on the way to Kigali. Again, Serge was very accommodating. The memorial is a gut wrenching and somber experience that includes 1,000 exhumed bodies of victims. When I signed the guest book, I noticed I was the only person who visited the memorial that day and that prior days hardly had any visitors. I found this sad because as difficult as it was to view, the memorial really depicts the horrors of the Rwandan genocide and honors the victims. From the spectacular natural scenery, to the kids in the village who were excited when a jeep passed and greeted you, to the wildlife encounters, Nyungwe will always hold a special place in my heart. I am grateful to Rwagasabo Safaris for an incredible experience!

Once in a lifetime experience with the best tour guide and driver. This far exceeded my expectations!
Serge & Fabrice were amazing. Serge is very kind, incredibly knowledgeable, extremely savvy, and unbelievably fun. Fabrice is a skilled, careful driver which is required on the many challenging roads. Everyone knows Serge in Nyungwe and he is well respected in the community. He planned the perfect trip. He picked me up Saturday at my hotel and we went to the waterfall hike ( which is moderate and NOT flat!!), then we had lunch and went in the canopy walk in the afternoon. He was very encouraging and helped me overcome my fear of heights, all with a compassionate caring attitude. Then, on the second day we did the Chimp trek which was fantastic. I love that he came with me and didn’t turn me over to the park guides. His knowledge as a biologist added to the experience. His is committed and o making it a once in a life-time-experience with loads of laughs and very interesting, intellectual discussions. He is by far the best tour guide I have ever had! And Fab is the absolute sweetest!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.
How much does 2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,450 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Rwanda Chimpanzees trekking, Zipline and Canopy walk Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kigali?
+
On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kigali?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kigali?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
