The park is home to an array of wildlife, including a growing population of chimpanzees, golden monkeys, and other primates, alongside various bird species such as the Rwenzori turaco. Its lush forests and rolling hills make it a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Guided nature walks and birdwatching are popular activities, allowing visitors to explore the forest’s biodiversity while contributing to its ongoing conservation.
Beyond its wildlife, Gishwati-Mukura is also a key example of Rwanda’s commitment to sustainability, with community-based tourism initiatives and conservation programs actively involving local populations in protecting the park’s fragile ecosystems. This makes it a hidden gem for those looking to experience Rwanda’s natural beauty and conservation success firsthand.
