Nyandungu Urban Wetland Eco-Tourism Park
Nyandungu
An urban eco-park created by restoring a degraded wetland, with wooden boardwalks, a medicinal plant garden and birdwatching spots. Ideal for walking and cycling.
Nyandungu Eco Park opened in 2022. Covering about 120 hectares, it was created by restoring a wetland that had been overtaken by farmland and rubbish, and it serves as a showcase for Rwanda's urban ecological restoration. The park has roughly 10 kilometres of walking and cycling trails, along with lakes, a medicinal plant garden and birdwatching points where you can spot many species of waterbirds. There is an entrance fee, and bicycles can be rented; check current prices on site. It is about 20 minutes by taxi from the city centre and not far from the airport.
