After the exhilarating chimp trekking experience, your adventure continues with a walk on the famous canopy walkway. Suspended 50 meters above the forest floor and stretching 200 meters in length, the walkway offers breathtaking views over a steep, lush valley. This elevated platform winds through the treetops, allowing visitors to witness the forest from a unique perspective. As you walk across the canopy, you'll be at eye level with various primate species and birds that dwell in the upper layers of the forest. The walkway spans hundreds of square meters, providing unforgettable sightings of Nyungwe’s rich biodiversity while surrounded by the sounds and sights of the vibrant rainforest ecosystem.
