Der Nationalpark Nyungwe im Südwesten Ruandas schützt den größten Bergregenwald Afrikas und eines der artenreichsten Ökosysteme des Kontinents. Der Park ist der Hauptlebensraum der Schimpansen Ruandas und beherbergt insgesamt 13 Primatenarten, darunter die auffälligen Angola-Koboldaffen, die in Gruppen von bis zu 400 Individuen leben – die größten Primatengruppen, die in Afrika vorkommen. Die über 280 Vogelarten des Nyungwe-Parks umfassen zahlreiche Arten, die nur im Albertine-Riftgebiet vorkommen und anderswo selten zu finden sind, was ihn zu einem der wichtigsten Vogelbeobachtungsgebiete Afrikas macht. Die Hängebrücke des Parks, die hoch über dem Waldboden verläuft, bietet einen beeindruckenden Blick auf die uralten Bäume. Der Nyungwe-Park wird oft mit einer Wanderung zu den Berggorillas im Nationalpark der Vulkane kombiniert, um ein umfassendes Erlebnis der Primaten Ruandas zu bieten.
