After an early breakfast, proceed to the park headquarters for a briefing on chimpanzee trekking regulations. A ranger and guides will lead you into the jungle to encounter these primates.

You will be able to snap many photos. After the walk, you’ll return to your accommodation for lunch.

Day 3: Hike and Gisakura Tea Tour
Enjoy breakfast before proceeding to the park headquarters for a briefing. The park’s chief ranger will educate you before you go on a guided trek down Rukuzi Trail, one of Nyungwe Forest National Park’s 19 hiking nature trails. Hiking on this path takes around 5 hours and is considered as challenging but rewarding. This route leads through a wooded buffer zone before opening up to views of the park and Lake Kivu in the distance. On a clear day, you may see some volcanoes. Remember to take your packed lunch from the resort before leaving.
Once you have had lunch, you will drive to Gisakura Tea Estate, where you will be shown the tea-making process. You will be given a tour of the large tea plantation and discover how tea is collected, stored, processed, and packaged for home and international markets. You will conclude your journey with a sample of Rwandan-made tea. Following your tea tour, return to your lodge for supper and an overnight stay.
