Tourist site experience

Amelia Clark, our volunteer from Florida, USA, who has been with us for three months, took advantage of a side trip offered to volunteers. She wanted to experience the flora and fauna in Rwanda. What better way to honor her passion than a visit to Nyungwe National Park, one of the oldest rainforests in Africa?

Amelia’s comments: “Nyungwe National Park is magical! The drive, passing through many villages and seeing the beautiful landscape, went quickly. And the instant I arrived in the forest, there were monkeys and birds and incredible trees and plants throughout. The canopy walk was breathtaking and the Kamiranzovu Waterfall is one of nature's wonders. I loved seeing the tea plantation bordering the forest and learning of the supportive relationship between the locals and the Nyungwe community.”

Amelia took the canopy walk.

Inside the park, baboons wander the roads.
