Nyungwe Forest National Park offers stunning landscapes and unique wildlife experiences, but the high costs associated with entry fees, guided tours, and accommodations can be a significant drawback. While the prices reflect the park's conservation efforts, they may deter budget-conscious travelers. Additionally, some visitors feel that the experience does not fully justify the expense, particularly when compared to other destinations in the region. Improving the value for money and offering more affordable options could make this beautiful park accessible to a wider range of visitors while still supporting its conservation mission.

There are two waterfall trails and they pretty much stock you wherever they think you should be unless you specify which bt name. Saying hard or easy doesn't help. We got stuck on the easy one. Anyone could do it, it was pretty but definitely not worth the money. The canopy walk was worth every penny and the monkeys that hang around the restaurant are cool. They are building a Zipline and also bringing back elephants, so definitely go back. I'd say a don't miss for Rwanda

Full of natural activities that can be booked through the official website of Nyungwe National Park (different website from "Visit Rwanda"). The price of the activities are lower than those in Volcano National Park. We are lucky that coming in low season, we actually enjoy private Canopy Walk with the professional guide. (But we paid the regular rate.) Our guide Paul is friendly and full of experience. He encouraged us walking on the Canopy that looked scary at the beginning. He also teached us and helped us with taking beautiful photos.

Absolutely beautiful scenery, incredibly enjoyable hikes, and very friendly guides. Definitely worth visiting. It was a 4+ hour drive from Kigali and I would do it again! Spent the day doing two different hikes and just enjoying nature.

Something unique. An amazing prehistoric forest. We went on the Canopy walking and chimpanzees trekking. We met a big group of them. All visits are guided and the guides are expert, kind and supporting

Nyungwe National Park's canopy walk is a breathtaking adventure that offers a unique perspective of the lush rainforest 🌿. Walking high above the forest floor on the swaying suspension bridges, we felt immersed in the treetops, enjoying panoramic views and spotting monkeys and colorful birds 🐒🦜. The experience is both exhilarating and peaceful, providing a deep connection to the forest's ecosystem. Guided by knowledgeable experts, the walk felt safe and informative, with every moment offering a new discovery. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or thrill-seeker, the canopy walk at Nyungwe National Park is a must-do, promising unforgettable memories and a profound appreciation for Rwanda's natural beauty. Highly recommended! 🌳🌉

Forest in incredible but the prices are insane. As a solo traveler I was asked to pay $190 at Uwinka to walk the 2.5h long basic Umuyove trail and canopy. Add that to the $60 taxi and it’s one expensive short hike - although beautiful. Fun fact, I ended paying only $170 for both me and my driver as it turned out it’s somehow cheaper that way if you go in two and it’s a Rwanda national. Bring your own water bottle as they only fill up here, and for snacks they only sell plain chapatis.
