The feelings that came to mind when I first saw the topic of this contest was overwhelming. For a second I said to myself this is your opportunity to write about some popular parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, or even the Glacier National Park been that I've never been to such places, but I can't see myself in those places just yet, rather I saw myself somewhere in Africa. Oh yes, you saw that right, somewhere closer to me right here in Africa. It might not be the best of the parks people fantasize about but it's a perfect fit for me. I saw myself right in Africa, a park named Nyungwe National Park.

WHY NYUNGWE FOREST?

I choose this cause, for a long time, I have always wanted a first-class experience with the wildlife I see only on television.

The Nyungwe Forest is one of the oldest rainforests in Africa, it is located in southwestern Rwanda, sharing its border with Burundi, where it is contiguous with the Kibira National Park to the south, and Lake Kivu and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. The Nyungwe rainforest is probably the best-preserved montane rainforest in Central Africa. It is located in the watershed between the basin of the river Congo to the west and the basin of the river Nile to the east. From the east side of the Nyungwe forest comes also one of the branches of the Nile sources.source

Nyungwe is said to be rich in biodiversity and spectacularly beautiful. A mountainous region that is teaming with wildlife, including a small population of chimpanzees as well as 12 other species of primate, including the L’Hoest’s monkey endemic to the Albertine Rift.source
