About Nyungwe for Solo Travelers
One of Africa's oldest and most biodiverse rainforests — Nyungwe's canopy walkway, chimpanzees, and 13 primate species reward solo nature travelers who leave the beaten Uganda-Kenya circuit.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Nyungwe Forest is set up for solo visitors — the canopy walk (one of Africa's best), chimpanzee tracking, and Colobus monkey trails are all guided experiences that group solo travelers naturally. The forest lodge accommodation is excellent. Allow at least two days; one for chimps, one for the canopy walk and birds.
