    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.

    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.
