A Little About Us
Who We Are
Kitabi Eco-Center is located just 2 km from the Eastern entrance to Nyungwe National Forest. It sits atop Mount Kitabi, and offers one of the most spectacular, panoramic views in all of Rwanda: neat, terraced farms perched on endless hills; light green tea plantations; the dark green trees of Nyungwe Forest; and a seemingly endless sky. Neither words nor pictures can do it justice; you have to be here to experience it!
KEC combines camping, a restaurant, gardens, and EcoTourism activities with an ecologically-friendly mindset. There is even a replica of the King’s Palace here that you can explore, and if you want, to stay overnight! (See lodging for further details)…

We offer Eco-Tours through local villages and in the buffer zone between Nyungwe Forest and the community to see conservation in action. We also offer tea plantation and tea factory tours, cultural tourism, honey cooperative tours, and much more.
