The Rwanda Chimpanzee Trekking Tour can be combined with our Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Tour to form our famous Rwanda Great Apes Safari.

In the afternoon, we shall have an optional canopy walk in Nyungwe Forest. Here we shall enjoy birds and monkeys from the tree canopies.

We expect monkey species such as L’Hoest’s Monkey, Rwenzori Angola Colobus Monkey, Johnston’s Grey-cheeked Mangabey and Olive Baboon. 

We shall then drive back to our lodge for a relaxed evening.
