So too, Mabira Rainforest Lodge has made a minimal impact on its environment, a creation that harmonizes nature with a modern eco-lodge, providing a place of rest and renewal for the weary.
The Lodge is built on a hill overlooking the peaceful rainforest before it. Everything about the lodge is made from natural materials all blending a beautiful harmony with its surrounding.
