After breakfast, embark on a hike in Nyungwe Forest National Park. The park offers about 15 hiking trails, providing a chance to experience the forest's diversity. Choose the Isumo trail (waterfall trail) for a 3-hour hike. Alternatively, participate in colobus monkey tracking at Gisakura, which is a shorter and lighter tour, as this colobus monkey group lives near the forest edge. After the monkey tracking and hike, drive to Kamembe town for a boat ride on Lake Kivu. Following the boat ride, return to Kigali city for your flight back home.
