In Nyungwe Forest Footpaths: Rwanda's Misty Canopy Hikes, the author journeys deep into one of Africa's most ancient and biodiverse rainforests - Nyungwe National Park. From the first breath of mist at dawn to the final rays of light sinking behind Bigugu Mountain, every step reveals a new facet of this living world: the dance of colobus monkeys, the echo of waterfalls, the hush of ferns beneath towering mahogany trees.Written in an intimate first-person narrative, the book weaves adventure with reflection - a meditation on wilderness, identity, and the quiet wisdom of the natural world. The forest becomes both guide and teacher, offering lessons in humility and interdependence.Along the way, the author walks the park's renowned trails - the Umuyove, Igishigishigi, and Kamiranzovu - and experiences the breathtaking Canopy Walkway, suspended above the emerald sea of treetops. She encounters the gentle eyes of chimpanzees, the songs of rare birds, and the lingering spirituality of Rwanda's hills and communities.With lyrical prose and detailed trail descriptions, Nyungwe Forest Footpaths is more than a hiking narrative - it is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the world's forgotten silences. It's a celebration of Africa's resilience and a love letter to the misty mountains where the Earth still prays in green.Perfect for lovers of nature writing, sustainable travel, and spiritual adventure, this book belongs on the shelf beside works by Robert Macfarlane, Cheryl Strayed, and Peter Matthiessen.
