One & Only Gorilla’s Nest

Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

You will feel fully-immersed in the untamed landscape of Rwanda at One and Only’s Gorilla Nest. Enveloped within a pristine rainforest, this exceptional hideaway is framed by towering eucalyptus trees and boasts beautiful volcanic vistas. 

We love the selection of accommodation options at Gorilla’s Nest – catering for romantic, family, and small group experiences. From the King and Forest Lodges to the selection of enchanting suites, each has been tastefully decorated and luxuriously furnished. When you are not unwinding in your sanctuary, dine on seasonal menus that have been lovingly created with ingredients from the Chef’s garden or indulge in a wellness treatment inspired by the traditional wisdom of Africa.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

 Insider Tip: Rwanda is a fantastic destination for hikers. We highly recommend the hike up Mt. Bisoke – yes, one of Rwanda’s dramatic volcano peaks. Come prepared though, it is a challenging eight hour trek but it rewards with an exceptional array of habitats and views.
