Uwinka Campsite offers a great alternative accommodation experience in Nyungwe Forest National Park. You can stay here as you prepare to track primates.
The campsite at the park’s reception centre is currently the only option at Uwinka where you can camp. There are several choice spots, many with impressive views overlooking the forest and one on a wooden platform under a shelter that’s a godsend in the likely event of rain.
The ablution block is cleaner than average, though showers (and toilets) come in buckets. Tourists should plan to bring their own food with them for their stay at Uwinka Campsite in the forest.
There are no kitchen facilities, but there’s a small cafeteria serving up drinks and simple meals and we always advise our clients to bring the snacks to be used as a part of the food being served in the cafeteria.
The campsite offers Tents and can be hired and the staff can usually rustle up an extremely thin sleeping mat and sleeping bag for those who haven’t brought their own.
The Uwinka campsite It’s a convenient base for those who don’t have a vehicle, as most nature walks as well as the Canopy Walkway begin here. The bus can stop closer to this campsite, the canopy walk way trail starts at this point. One of the habituated chimpanzee families is being trekked starting from uwinka. In general a client could leave from Kigali in the public transport , head to Nyungwe National park, stops at Uwinka , then do the different tourism attractions around the Uwinka, after the activities he can continue with public transport to Rusizi or Kibuye on Lake Kivu or return to Kigali with a stop in Nyanza for museums visit.
For those loving an outdoor activity during your safari visit in Rwanda, camping here could be your favorite.
