Nyungu Yamawe Forest Park is a forest park which was started in 2019 by Workspaces Ltd, a conservation social enterprise in Uganda.[1]
Located in Kira off Bulindo road, Kitukutwe Trading Centre,[2] 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.[3]
Nyungu Yamawe forest park has nature-inspired co-living and co-working spaces sustainably constructed to further climate mitigation measures.[4]
The park is mostly used as camping site, with wood, bamboo and grass eco-cottages.[5][6][7] It also hosts different events, such as the Rumble in the Jungle, Ndeku festival, meat carnivals, and so on.[8][9][10]
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.[11]
