From a degraded wetland to an educational and recreational eco-park in the heart of Rwanda’s capital city, Nyandungu is now open to the public. The restoration of the Nyandungu wetland and creation of an eco-tourism park saw the planting of 17,000 trees made up of 55 indigenous species.

The park is home to more than 62 local plant species and more than 100 bird species. The 121 hectare park features a medicinal garden, a Pope’s Garden, five catchment ponds, three recreation ponds, an information centre, a restaurant as well as 8km of walkways and bike lanes. Meet the people who led the restoration efforts and find out what you can expect on your visit.
