Nyungu Yamawe Forest Park is a forest park which was started in 2019 by Workspaces Ltd, a conservation social enterprise in Uganda.
Located in Kira off Bulindo road, Kitukutwe Trading Centre, the park spans over 15 acres of nature conservancy dedicated to creating a sustainability-based adventure lifetime learning experience.
The name Nyungu Yamawe is synonymous with the King of the Nyamwezi people, in the northern part of Tanzania and south-western Uganda.
Nyungu Yamawe forest park has nature-inspired co-living and co-working spaces sustainably constructed to further climate mitigation measures.
The park is mostly used as camping site, with wood, bamboo and grass eco-cottages. It also hosts different events, such as the Rumble in the Jungle, Ndeku festival, meat carnivals, and so on.
The park is meant to encourage social bonding with nature in its original form, as well as environmental protection and conservation, while creating opportunities for people to celebrate.
