Beneath the dense canopies of Nyungwe Forest National Park lies a thriving and diverse ecosystem, rich in flora and fauna; a true botanist’s paradise. Despite only representing a fraction of the total land area of Africa, this primal rainforest – one of Africa’s oldest – is home to one quarter of all primate species found on the continent: 13 in total, ranging from the black and white colobus monkey to the endemic L’Hoest’s monkey, as well as the mountain gorilla’s more mischievous cousin, the chimpanzee.
