The canopy walk hangs 50 metres above the forest floor on the edge of Nyungwe, and the view over the treetops is the reason most people come to this part of Rwanda.
Nyungwe is the largest remaining mountain rainforest in East Africa, and the walk is only part of it: there are trails, colobus troops and thirteen primate species. You overnight at the forest edge and return at your own pace.
