Explore the hidden gem of Gishwati-Mukura National Park, Rwanda’s newest national park and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Established in 2015, the park protects two forest reserves — Gishwati and Mukura — and plays a vital role as a biodiversity corridor along the Albertine Rift.
Covering approximately 34 square kilometers, the park is a conservation success story, restored from near destruction into a thriving ecosystem rich in wildlife and plant species. It connects ecologically to Nyungwe Forest National Park, forming part of one of Africa’s most biodiverse regions.
Gishwati–Mukura is known for its primates, including chimpanzees, golden monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, and blue monkeys. The park is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 230 bird species, including rare Albertine Rift endemics like the Rwenzori turaco.
This four-day safari offers a unique eco-tourism experience combining primate tracking, forest hikes, birdwatching, and cultural interactions with local communities.
