Set deep within the heart of Nyungwe National Park, Munazi Eco Lodge is an upcoming mid-range to mid-luxury lodge, opening in May 2025. Just 5 km from the Uwinka Visitor Center, a 30 minutes’ drive away, Munazi Eco Lodge offers visitors an unmatched wilderness experience, being the only lodge located inside the park.
The lodge is situated 1.7 km from the tarmac road, ensuring a peaceful stay away from heavy traffic noise while still being easily accessible. Guests can enjoy stunning north-facing valley views, and on a clear day, glimpses of Lake Kivu. The location is within the home range of chimpanzees, Angolan black and white colobus monkeys, Mountain Monkeys, and Silver Monkeys, as well as a rich variety of bird species, including turacos and Albertine Rift endemics
The lodge offers all meals, starting from breakfast, lunch and dinner, which are included on the rates except for the drinks which will be paid separately
The lodge features nine A-frame ensuite chalets, each blending comfort and nature seamlessly. One of these is a VIP chalet with a Jacuzzi, ensuring a luxurious stay. Every chalet comes with hammocks, Wi-Fi, and breath-taking panoramic views of Nyungwe’s rainforest canopy.
Munazi Lodge is built using reclaimed exotic trees from the National Park, allowing for the natural regeneration of indigenous plants. Most of the furniture and infrastructure are handcrafted by local cooperatives and construction teams under the oversight of the park management and site engineers.
The A-frame structures are designed for high rainfall, allowing natural light to enter while retaining warmth. Elevated above the ground, they offer expansive views while blending seamlessly into the surrounding mountainous forest. Each unit is private and accessed via forested pathways.
Staying at Munazi Eco Lodge means waking up to the sights and sounds of nature. The lodge’s forest location attracts a variety of primates, including colobus monkeys, silver monkeys, Angolan black-and-white colobus, and mountain monkeys. Bird enthusiasts will also love spotting Albertine Rift endemics like the Great Blue Turaco.
