The canopy walk is found in Nyungwe forest national park in the south of Rwanda, built in 2010 by the Green Heart group, supported by U.S.A.I.D. The canopy walk is a guided tour starting from the Uwinka Visitors centre in Nyungwe forest, followed by a 30-minute walk via the igishigishi trail in a steep slope deep into the Nyungwe forest to the starting point of the walkway. The walkway can, however, also be done via the long trails of Imbaraga or the Umuyove. The round trip takes 1:30 hrs to 2 hours.
