After an early breakfast, embark on a scenic journey from Kigali to Nyungwe National Park, one of Rwanda’s most spectacular rainforest destinations. This 5–6 hour drive offers breathtaking views of Rwanda’s rolling hills and lush countryside, or you may opt for a 35-minute chartered helicopter flight to Nyungwe House’s private helipad (available at an additional cost), providing unforgettable aerial views of the “Land of a Thousand Hills” (subject to passenger and luggage weight limits). En route, stop along Rwanda’s Cultural Heritage Corridor to explore the King’s Palace Museum and the Ethnographic Museum. These cultural landmarks offer a fascinating insight into Rwanda’s royal history, traditional architecture, and rich cultural heritage, deepening your understanding of the country before entering the rainforest. Nyungwe Forest National Park spans over 1,000 square kilometers and is among the oldest and most biodiverse montane rainforests in Africa. Home to chimpanzees, over 300 bird species, and approximately 75 mammal species, it is a premier destination for primate trekking, birdwatching, and nature exploration in East Africa. Upon arrival at One&Only Nyungwe House, check in and take time to relax while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding tea plantations and forested hills. In the afternoon, set out with a local ranger for an exhilarating canopy walk experience across the park’s iconic 60-meter-high suspended walkway, offering a unique perspective over the rainforest canopy and its incredible biodiversity. Return to the lodge in the evening for a refined dinner experience and overnight stay in your Nyungwe King Room, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the rainforest. This marks a perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and immersive eco-tourism in one of Rwanda’s most pristine natural environments.
