Day 2
Chimp trekking, tea plantation tour and canopy walk
After an early morning breakfast at the lodge, you will drive to the park offices for a briefing and later proceed into the forest in search of the chimps. You will be led by a guide from the park who will take you through the trails of the thick Nyungwe forest to find the chimpanzees. It is an awesome moment to watch these playful primates up in the trees, for a full one hour, after which you will exit the forest and head back to meet your driver. You will thereafter visit the Gisakura tea plantation to participate in the harvesting of tea. In the afternoon, you will go back to the forest for the canopy walk. This adventure offers great views of Nyungwe forest and a remarkable experience as you move from one point of the suspended walkway to the other. Thereafter, you will return to the lodge for dinner and overnight. Mid-range hotel located just outside Nyungwe NP (Chimps) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
