    Great chimp and bird viewing and more!

    My driver-guide was James and he was very nice and good company. Nyungwe is one of the most majestic montane tropical forests in Africa. Awesome. Saw L'Hoest's monkeys, black fronted drivers, and ten chimpanzees. Canopy walk is actually a wonderful two-hour hike of incredible bird watching and chane to spot several endemics.

    Response from the operator: Dear Lawrence, Thank you so much for taking your time to give us this amazing feedback about your 2 days safari trip in Nyungwe forest national park, and that you saw all the chimps , canopy walk and different animal species. We are so excited to know that James took good care of you and gave you good company while in the wilderness. Simba is looking forward to host you once again with your friends and families, thanks KIND REGARDS, SIMBA AFIRCA EXPEDITIONS TEAM

    You will enjoy each minute

    A once-in-a-lifetime experience. My tour guide Tonny was knowledgeable about the principal features of Nyungwe region, and also an excellent driver. The visit at the Gisakura tea factory was not only informative, but also a real fun. Of course, meeting with chimpanzees in the rain forest, and the subsequent canopy tour are the principal attractions during the tour.

    Response from the operator: Dear Karoly, Thank you so much for taking your time to write this amazing review about your trip to Nyungwe Forest national park and canopy walk in Rwanda. Simba is pleased to know that Tonny took good care of you and you enjoyed each minute while you were on this trip. we hope to see you once gain. regards, SIMBA AFRICA EXPEDITIONS

    Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.

    How much does Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,091 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 Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe 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 Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe?

    +

    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 Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe 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 Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe?

    +

    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 Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe 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.

    What is included in Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe?

    +

    Included: Services of English-speaking driver/guide; Lunch; Bottled drinking water on board; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Gratuities; Personal insurance; International flight; and Alcohol. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private 2 days Chimpanzee Tracking and Canopy Walk Nyungwe?
