Nyungwe Forest
Chimp Tracking
One of Africa's oldest rainforests, where chimpanzees call through the canopy and 13 species of primates swing through ancient trees. Nyungwe's canopy walkway offers a unique perspective on this biodiversity hotspot. One&Only Nyungwe House sits at the forest's edge, its tea plantation setting offering the kind of morning mist and absolute quiet that reminds you why you travel to places this far from everything.
