What makes Munazi Eco Lodge in Nyungwe Forest National Park stand out?

Although Munazi Eco Lodge is the newest accommodational facility, its fame and popularity have shot up the charts, equalling even some of the older lodges in Nyungwe Forest National Park. This is attributed to several factors, as some are listed below.

Eco-friendliness

Right from the infrastructure to the amenities, Munazi Eco Lodge has observed eco-friendliness to the point of even depicting it in this name. The infrastructure of the lodge was constructed using environmentally friendly materials from the strong pillars that form the base and foundation of the whole lodge, being indigenous trees of Nyungwe Forest that were harvested and utilized to give room for the young trees to rejuvenate. The architects of this great lodge maintained the natural touch as their observed sustainable approach when the interior was handcrafted by the surrounding local communities using eco-friendly materials from the Nyungwe Forest, like raids on the shores of Lake Kivu.

Proximity to the park headquarters

For anyone seeking an adventure in Nyungwe Forest National Park, Munazi Eco Lodge is your one-stop center of accommodation. This is because the lodge prides itself as one of the closest accommodation facilities to the park headquarters, where all adventures into the forest begin. This proximity has played a key role in keeping the visitors on time for their forest adventure experiences. For activities like chimpanzee trekking, Munazi Eco Lodge is just 5 kilometers from the briefing center of Uwinka.

Incredible scenic views of the park

The strategic location of Munazi Eco Lodge on an elevated hill overlooking the natural forest of Nyungwe positions the lodge for the best and unmatched scenic views of nature. These views go put to the rooms as guest arise from their peaceful night of sleep, draw their curtains to the sun rays, colouring the surroundings. The lodge also has a sitting or campfire area where guests can sit and relax as they enjoy the beautiful views of the whole forest reaching Lake Kivu.

World-class services

Munazi Eco Lodge has a line-up of several professional and experienced workers who are not just knowledgeable about their surroundings but also move around the clock 24/7 to give you the best stay at the lodge.

Numerous amenities

The long list of amenities has placed Munazi Eco Lodge as one of the best accommodation facilities in Nyungwe Forest National Park, but also in the whole of Rwanda. The amenities include well-spaced 6 and 2-family A-frame en-suite units that were constructed to allow in more natural light and also for wider and clearer views of the forest. Spacious free parking, very fast WiFi, laundry services, hot water showers, private deck, and a Jacuzzi for the VIP unit, among others.

Cultural sensitive

We went on a two-week trip with my family, organised by Coleb from Standard Safaris.

I had my concerns about organised trips, but this one didn’t justify any of those. Everything went very smoothly, even when some problems arose with one of the cars it got fixed by next morning, the accomodations were clean and comfortable, the programs were exciting and well-balanced - everything was done to a truly high standard.

If you plan to visit Uganda and are looking for a guide, I warmly recommend Coleb and his team. In case you have a choice of drivers, go for Godwin, his presence made this trip even more enjoyable - cheerful, helpful, good sense of humour, generally a great person. Just look for the guy with a big smile and big heart:)

We recently embarked on a safari adventure with Standard Safaris in Uganda, which was truly exceptional. Our guide, Yonah, was outstanding - his kindness, knowledge, and discretion significantly enhanced our experience. He was the heart of our trip.

The local company's planning was offering a tailor-made journey that matched our interests. We saw an array of wildlife in Murchison, enjoyed rafting at Jinja, and experienced mountain biking at Sipi. A visit to Kidepo National Park was a highlight and comes highly recommended.

The vehicle provided was comfortable and reliable. We highly recommend Standard Safaris for anyone seeking an unforgettable safari in Uganda. Their professionalism and the exceptional guidance of staff like Yonah make them an great choice.

We are all extremely grateful Standard Safaris for an incredible East Africa experience. I recently booked a custom trip for group of 8 people, including an 8-year-old boy, from Kampala through Queen Elizabeth National Park and on to Rwanda and Burundi. Coleb delivered on everything that was discussed and agreed upon beforehand.

The car provided was in great condition and our driver Meddy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and had the best possible time. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. All local services were inlcuded in (reasonable) price that we agreed, so there was no need to worry about payments during the 6 day trip. Also Standard Safaris agreed took care about safety and security by helping us organize armed ranger while in the park.

The whole trip was hassle-free and smooth. We saw amazing wildlife in Queen Elizabeth NP, took in the sights of Rwanda and Burundi, and made lifelong memories.

I would happily book with Standard Safaris again in a heartbeat and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for the best East Africa trip. They provide top-notch service while ensuring you have an incredible, customized experience. If you want a hassle-free, flawlessly organized African adventure, Standard Safaris is the tour operator to book with.

Very organized travel operator who chose awesome guide to make our trip wonderful.

We booked a nine days trip with Standard Safaris and all was perfect from start to finish. Coleb was very prompt at replying and easy to liaise with ahead of the trip. We had done a lot of research and had an itinerary in mind and Coleb helped us to put everything together to make this happen for a very reasonable price.  On the trip we had a private vehicle for the whole tour which was exactly what we wanted. Bryan was our driver and an amazing guide - really friendly and knowledgable, working hard to find the things that we wanted to see and quickly understanding what was of interest to us/how much information to give.

Would highly recommend a trip to Uganda with Standard Safaris. We are definitely coming back soon!

It was a complex expedition but Standard safaris and Coleb made it look amazingly easy.
I’ll recommend Standard safaris 200%, for all gorilla safaris in Uganda, Rwanda and wildlife tours in east africa.

This is so far the best gorilla trekking company in Uganda, and africa, by far. I had a wonderful time with Standard Safaris as a solo traveler.
My guide was excellent and our safari planner, Coleb was quick with responses and the prices were very friendly.
