Chimpanzees, monkeys and bountiful birds reign supreme amidst picturesque hilly forests
Gishwati Mukura National Park is a park in northwestern Rwanda that was established in 2015 with the aim of rehabilitating an area that had been almost completely depleted by human activity. The park encompasses the Gishwati and Mukura forests in an approximately 34 km2 area. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife and plant life, including a group of about 20 chimpanzees, golden monkeys, L’Hoest and Blue Monkeys. It is also home to several communities of indigenous people, who have been living in the area for centuries.
