Isumo Waterfalls Hike

The Isumo Waterfalls hike in Nyungwe National Park is one of Rwanda’s most rewarding rainforest adventures—a 4- to 5-hour trek through lush jungle, misty ravines, and vibrant landscapes teeming with life.

As you begin the trail, you’ll be immersed in a world of towering trees, tropical vines, and cascading rivers, with chances to spot monkeys, colorful birds, and rare forest flora along the way. The atmosphere is rich and wild—it feels like stepping into a real-life Tarzan movie.

The hike also passes through scenic tea plantations, offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills before leading you to the majestic Isumo Waterfalls, where water plunges into a gorge surrounded by mossy rock walls and dense greenery.

This experience blends biodiversity, local agriculture, and natural beauty, making the Isumo Waterfalls trail a must-do for hikers, nature lovers, and photographers visiting Nyungwe National Park.
