Nyungwe Nziza Eco-Lodge

Nyungwe Nziza Eco-Lodge

Nyungwe Nziza Eco-Lodge is located in the Southern province of Rwanda, Nyamagabe district, in the Kitabi sector in the East of Nyungwe National Park. The hotel is the last building you reach on before you enter Nyungwe National Park. It is attached to the buffer zone that separates Nyungwe and the community. In brief, you can say Nyungwe Nziza Eco-Lodge is set in zero distance from Nyungwe National Park. The Lodge is built in semi-traditional style, this is to say half traditional and half modern although the service is best ever. It is set on the top of a small hill which allows the visitors to have a nice view of the Nyungwe Mountains and the tea plantation estates around the National Park. If out there is a cool place I hope Nyunze Nziza Eco-Lodge is the best one.

The Lodge is easily accessible and it is set around the road where you can relax and enjoy nature.
