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.

Lunch will be a delight to you, from the presentation to the taste of it and vegetarian will not go without, there are lovely choices from the set menu. Lunch is normally soup, the main-course and a tasty dessert to follow. After lunch sit on your balcony and drink in the beauty that surrounds you or take a guided walk through the forest with its beautiful plants, flower trees, the sounds and sights of birds while monkeys scurry about in the treetops.
