On Wednesday, Shell, Catherine (Shell’s workmate from Brisbane) and I hired a 4x4 vehicle and headed off to the Nyungwe forest in South West Rwanda. We arrived late in the evening (an expected three hour trip turned into seven hours) and missed out on the views of the rain forest as we drove to our guest house.
We got up early on Thursday morning and headed to the visitor centre to book our trip. We decided that the 9.5km trail was exactly what we needed so we booked our trip and were provided with a guide. The walk led us through some lovely rain forest and we were able to view four waterfalls. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any of the wild life we were expecting, e.g. birds and monkeys, which left us all a little disappointed.

Nevertheless, it was a great day out and another challenging drive through the hills of Rwanda.
