Canopy Walkway
Fodor's choice
East Africa's only Canopy Walkway is a 160-meter (525-foot) bridge suspended 70 meters (230 feet) above the ground. The "hanging trail" affords magnificent views of the treetop canopy and up-close bird encounters. Nyungwe is a little-known birders' paradise, though spotting them typically requires the eyes (and ears) of a trained guide, who can be secured at one of the park's reception centers. The Canopy Walkway trail is a round-trip of approximately two hours on sometimes steep paths. Rain is a frequent occurrence in Nyungwe so a raincoat is essential. Visitors should bring their own raincoats and boots (or comfortable shoes). Walking sticks can be provided on-site.
