Nyungwe National Park hosts Africa's most extensive protected tract of montane forest.
This verdant oasis is a biodiversity hotspot bursting with life. Nyungwe covers 1,019km2 (over 100,000 hectares) of forested mountains, burbling streams, sun-starved valleys, and extensive swamps seemingly hiding a myriad of new species waiting to be discovered (or rediscovered).
Part of the Albertine Rift and ranging in altitude from 1,600-3,000m, this high-altitude montane forest towers above Lake Kivu and comprises the watershed between the Congo and Nile Rivers. Some believe it is the most remote source of the Nile River.
