One of the oldest rainforests in Africa, Nyungwe is rich in biodiversity and spectacularly beautiful. The mountainous region is teeming with wildlife, including a small population of chimpanzees as well as 12 other primate species, including L’Hoest’s monkey, which is endemic to the Albertine Rift. With its iconic canopy walkway, this rainforest offers the perfect escape for travelers looking to reconnect with themselves and nature—without breaking the bank.
