Rooted in Purpose
Born from over 15 years of experience in Rwanda’s tourism industry, Earthnest Eco-Lodge was created to bridge a gap — offering travelers an eco-friendly retreat close to nature without leaving the vibrancy of Kigali far behind. Nestled by Lake Muhazi and just outside the city, Earthnest is built on the belief that sustainability should be central to modern travel.
Rooted in Passion
For over a decade, Earthnest’s founder envisioned a place where sustainability, comfort, and culture meet. What began as a dream has grown into a purposeful destination that supports community, celebrates nature, and invites guests to rest deeply.
Our commitment to conscious hospitality guides all we do. We use solar energy, eco-construction, and local sourcing to protect nature and empower nearby communities.
From sunrise to starlight, Earthnest offers more than stays, it offers soulful, green experiences.
We believe that luxury and responsibility can co-exist. At Earthnest, our daily operations are designed with the environment in mind:
Our lodge is powered by clean solar energy, reducing dependency on fossil fuels and minimizing our carbon footprint.
We use smart showers and water-efficient systems to preserve every drop.
Waste is sorted and diverted away from landfills with a focus on composting, recycling, and reusing.
The lodge is built using natural, locally sourced, and sustainable materials that harmonize with the landscape.
From biodegradable toiletries to organic bedding, every guest touchpoint is intentionally green.
Sustainability is not just about the environment — it’s also about people. Our lodge is proudly rooted in and uplifted by the local community.
We employ local residents, from staff to guides, and provide ongoing training and growth opportunities
We prioritize Rwandan products, crafts, and food supplies to support the local economy
Our lodge offers a platform for local artisans, musicians, and storytellers to share their heritage and craft with guests.
We actively involve the community in planning and operations to ensure our impact aligns with local needs and aspirations.
