Tour de 10 días de seguimiento de chimpancés en Ruanda | Eco Adventure

People mostly think of Rwanda when they think of luxury gorilla trekking tour and its famous hills. But if you want to see more, it has another side of the country that you should see. This Rwanda Chimpanzee Tracking Tour will go off the typical safari route. It will include wildlife from the rainforest, the savanna, village life, conservation efforts, and active exploration all in one well-balanced itinerary.

You will start in the open lands of Akagera and then move on to the darker, wetter world of Nyungwe. In Nyungwe, chimpanzee calls can be heard through the trees before you see them. Tracking chimpanzees in Rwanda starts early, around 5:30 a.m., and sightings depend on where the community has been that morning.

Rwanda's advantage is that these experiences naturally connect in a country that isn't too big. Here, you can start your morning in the shade of a forest, work with a local community to keep bees in a healthy way in the afternoon, and the next day riding a bike above the clear waters of Lake Kivu. The Congo Nile Trail is about 227 to 250 km long, and you can ride parts of it without committing to the whole trail.

The main idea of this tour is to experience how adventure and conservation can work together. At Eco Hive Guardians Initiative near Nyungwe, you won't only hear that tourism should help communities; you will also see how beekeeping, making honey, teaching about the environment, and protecting forests can all work together. Swift Africa Safaris started initiatives for community development and consrvation includes this one in Nyamasheke to help people there make better living conditions and protect the Nyungwe ecosystem.

Comfort will always be a part of the story. When you get back from a day of activities, you'll enjoy well-chosen hotel, private road transfers, professional guidance, tasty meals, and some free time. Once you make a reservation, you'll be given information about the hotel. This way, you can match your accommodation choices to availability, travel dates, and the level of comfort you want.

Nivel de Dificultad

Las personas con condición física moderada y que no les importe combinar caminatas, safaris de vida silvestre, ciclismo y actividades acuáticas disfrutarán de este viaje. Para rastrear chimpancés, tendrás que levantarte temprano y caminar varias horas por senderos del bosque. Después de la lluvia, el terreno puede volverse fangoso o irregular. Los chimpancés se mueven libremente por el bosque, por lo que el tiempo real que lleva encontrarlos variará. Una vez encontrados, los visitantes pueden observarlos hasta una hora.

Por otro lado, remar en el lago Kivu será más fácil para tu cuerpo. El tirolesa de Nyungwe está compuesta actualmente por tres tramos que suman aproximadamente 1.935 metros de longitud. El pasarela de la copa del árbol ofrece vistas del bosque desde arriba.

El día en que recorras en bicicleta el Congo Nile Trail de Karongi a Rubavu será el más exigente para tu cuerpo. La gente suele considerar la parte del sendero entre Karongi y Rubavu como activa y montañosa, por lo que el vehículo de apoyo seguirá allí cuando necesites detenerte.

Los huéspedes que tengan dificultades para moverse deberían hablar del itinerario antes de reservar para que se puedan organizar las mejores partes y opciones de actividades.
