“Our first big Wow! goes to our guide Enriche aka "Nicha" who lived up to our expectations. The accommodation was great! We were surrounded by a magnificent landscape. The park is splendid! And the experience of the footbridges very pleasant. However, the entrance fee is very high for these activities ... fortunately Vista Safari had the wonderful idea of changing the planning of the activities to save us money! The road is very beautiful!”

“Spending two days exploring Nyungwe National Park was absolutely amazing. The itinerary was so well-planned that I never felt tired I was just excited to see what was next. I got to experience everything I hoped for: chimpanzees, Angolan colobus monkeys, and so many other primates. The tea plantations were stunning, the waterfalls were beautiful, and the canopy walk was a real highlight. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave. Being surrounded by the forest for two days was such a refreshing experience. My guide, Paul, was fantastic and made the trip even better. If you’re thinking about visiting Nyungwe, I highly recommend this tour package it was well worth it!Read…”
