The hanging platform that spreads over the Nyungwe Forest allows visitors to view different animal species at eye level. Nyungwe Forest National Park is home to many types of primates, and driving through it will enable you to see many of them. In addition, you will see a variety of monkeys and baboons along the road. A visit to this forest is indeed worth it!

5.0/5’ve never thought that I could be so fascinated by nature in Rwanda. I had such a splendid experience during 1day Safari in Akagera National Park thanks to the New Horizon Africa Safaris. It was an amazing day full of surprises. Everything was well planned and organised. Our guide ( who was a taxi driver as well) explained to us all facts about wildlife in Rwanda. I would like to thank him for such a wonderful experience throughout. I really enjoyed the trip :-) Nowadays, the travel industry has a very competitive environment and everyone offers almost the same price. So price is no longer a trigger that attracts customers. Engagement and high quality of services can do it and that’s why I recommend the New Horizon Africa Safaris as a partner for your travel. I hope that one day I could come back with my family and once more travel with you.

I had a quick trip to Rwanda to see the gorillas. New Horizon took care of everything and it was quick and easy communication from the start. They also did my airport transfers. I recommend.

Incredible Experience with New Horizon Africa Safaris – Highly Recommended! This August, we had the chance to enjoy a truly unforgettable one-night safari with New Horizon Africa Safaris in the southern part of Rwanda. Our trip included an exciting chimpanzee trekking experience in Nyungwe National Park, the breathtaking Canopy Walk, and the newly opened zip line – all of which exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was the professionalism and flexibility of the company. Due to a delay in our connecting flight, we had to reschedule the safari with less than 12 hours' notice. Despite the last-minute change, New Horizon Africa Safaris handled everything with amazing efficiency and kindness. They quickly reorganized the itinerary for the next day without any issues, which we truly appreciated. A special mention goes to our guide and driver, Emmanuel. From the very beginning, he made sure we were comfortable, clearly explained the itinerary, and shared so much valuable information about Rwanda, its history, nature, and culture. He was not only knowledgeable, but also extremely kind and attentive, always ready to answer any question we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better experience. If you're thinking of exploring Rwanda, we wholeheartedly recommend New Horizon Africa Safaris – and if you can, ask for Emmanuel!
