A whole host of different primate species, a few other mammals including leopard and duiker (which you're unlikely to see) and a phenomenal array of birds and plants.
For the best experience, most tourists tend to combine chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe with a gorilla tour in the nearby Volcanoes National Park.
There are a number of trails ranging from the very easy to the reasonably challenging.
nb.
their "strenuous" guide is based on the assumption that you are not a regular walker.
Any hiker would not find their "very strenuous" trails particularly challenging.
Canopy Walk - In October 2010, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) launched canopy walk tourism in Nyungwe National Park as part of a strategy to diversify tourism attractions.
Canopy tourism is also aimed at encouraging tourists to spend a longer time in Rwanda.
The Canopy Walk is the only attraction of its kind in East Africa.
This is the first ever hanging platform that allows tourists to view different animal species in Nyungwe Forest.
The dizzying platform is above a steep and deep valley stretching across the massive forest.
John Gara, CEO of the RDB, said the platform is 50 meters above ground level and 90 meters long.
It allows tourists to view butterflies, birds and blue monkeys that dwell in the upper levels of the forest.
The forest has 13 rare primate species, the world’s largest ever recorded arboreal troop of black/white colobus monkeys, and nearly 300 species of birds and 154 types of orchids.
There are also a couple of multi day trails such as the Nile-Congo divide trail (which is the only way of reaching the longest source of the Nile).
These must be booked at least seven days in advance (they will not negotiate this).
Chimpanzee tracking is available and there are two groups habituated to human contact.
In principle, Colobus monkey tracking is also available but they may have moved too far away from the trail head to be tracked.
Should they move back this may be possible again in the future.
There is a small kiosk selling basics, but if you are camping bring whatever food you will need.
Water, Soft drinks and Primus (beer) is available.
There are guest houses on either side of the park on the main road.
In Kitabi (on the Huye side) the guest house is situated in the school of wildlife management.
Coming from Huye take the left turn marked 'tea factory' about 200m before the park entrance.
There is then a right turn about 500m further on, this is the guest house.
The reception is is l'Hoests monkey house.
At the upper end is the Nyungwe Forest Lodge, which is a luxurious eco-lodge surrounded by tea fields and at the edge of Nyungwe Forest.
There is camping at the Uwinka head quarters, it's a bit pricey (see fees and permits) but you do get a guy who lights your fire for you.
This may sound a bit unnecessary but after a cold night (apparently it can get down to 0C here due to the altitude), waking up to a roaring fire is heaven!The NR10 highway passed through the park.
It's easy to catch a bus to/from any locations along it.
That means the park, and lodges near it, are well connected to Huye or Kigali.
If you are heading the other direction, it's just as easy to get to Kibuye, where you can connect to Gisenyi or Ruhengeri.
Just make sure to start early if you are going far because the buses are slow.
Ruhengeri is a city in northern Rwanda's Musanze district.
It is the port of call for tourists heading up the hills to Kinigi and Parc National des Volcans.
There several bus companies who serve Kigali-Musanze direction every half hour for 1,750 rwf (September 2017).
The journey takes 2 hours.
Buy your ticket at the main bus station in Nyabugogo - each bus company has their own little office, look for the signs that say "Kigali-Musanze.
" Don't buy your ticket in advance - go to the bus station and expect to leave in roughly 30 minutes (or less).
There will always be spaces, and you can wait for the next departure if you want a better seat.

)Volcanoes National Park offers several attractions.
Tickets must be booked in advance through tour companies or the Rwanda Tourism Board (ORTPN).
The majority of revenue from tourism goes towards maintaining the park and conserving the wildlife.
The remainder goes to the government and (around 10%) to local projects in the area to help local people benefit from the large revenue stream generated by the park.

The South is a district of Amsterdam.
The South includes a number of interesting neighborhoods, such as the Museum Quarter, home to some of the best museums in the world; De Pijp, a typical Dutch working class area with a lively street market; the Zuidas, Amsterdam's central business district with plenty of modern architecture; the Rivierenbuurt, a middle-class area composed of Amsterdam School-style buildings; and Buitenveldert, a leafy middle-class district.
The South is a vast district and just viewing a map of all the tram lines that go through it can make you dazzle.
But it's not that complicated if you know the few lines that are interesting for visitors.
From Central Station, the fastest tram to the Museum Quarter (and the Vondelpark) is line 5, get out at either Hobbemastraat, Van Baerlestraat or Museum Square (Museumplein).
For De Pijp, take either tram line 16 or 24 (stops: Stadhouderskade and Albert Cuypmarkt).
After a while they will also reach the Museum Square, but they are noticeably slower.
The Museum Quarter boasts some of the best museums of the world, notably the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum.
A trip to Amsterdam is not complete if you haven't been to at least one of these museums.
Are you visiting several museums? Consider buying a Museumkaart for €65, valid for a whole year for most museums in the whole country.
In the South, only the Molen van Sloten [1] is open for visitors.
The Molen van Sloten at Akersluis 10, about 10 minutes walk from the terminus of tram line 2, open daily from 10:00AM to 4PM.
Other windmills:The population of the South is a mixed bag and that becomes most apparent when you're going shopping.
Most visitors to the area at least head out for the Albert Cuyp Markt, a typical street market that is iconic for the "De Pijp" area and its lower-class inhabitants.
It is touted as the largest and busiest street market in Europe.
There is something for everyone here, whether you're looking for delicious Dutch treats, clothes or second-hand cameras.
There's also a wide array of stores that cater for the city's Surinamese, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan inhabitants, giving the market and neighbourhood a strong multicultural feel.
The other end is the P.

Hooftstraat, the wealthiest street of the country where Dutch celebrities from the Grachtengordel go to find a new pair of designer shoes.
Better bring a filled wallet if you're planning on buying something here.
The Beethovenstraat is voted as one of the top five shopping streets in The Netherlands.
De Pijp is an excellent area for getting ethnic food that belongs to former Dutch colonies, such as Indonesian or Surinamese cuisine.
Koreans have congregated in the area known as Buitenveldert, so that's an excellent location for Korean cuisine.
Due to the area being cheaper than the center, the South has become the most popular location for budget and mid-range hotels.
