The forest is home to a remarkable variety of flora and fauna, including over 300 bird species, 75 different mammals, and 13 primate species such as chimpanzees and the Ruwenzori colobus monkeys. Nyungwe is also known for its extensive network of well-maintained trails, making it a popular destination for hiking and birdwatching. The canopy walkway, suspended 50 meters above the forest floor, offers breathtaking views and a unique perspective on the forest's rich ecosystem.
