Two wild worlds. One unrepeatable journey. This isn’t just a holiday. It’s a double encounter with Earth at its most untamed and unforgettable. One&Only invites you to explore two of Rwanda’s most elusive frontiers—Volcanoes and Nyungwe—through stays that transcend travel and enter the realm of legend.

One&Only Gorilla’s Nest

This is where the wild meets your soul. Perched at the edge of Volcanoes National Park, Gorilla’s Nest is more than a resort—it’s an invitation to the extraordinary. Wake up to the murmur of eucalyptus forests. Trek into the mists to meet Rwanda’s mountain gorillas face-to-face. Return to a place that feels like it was built just for you. Here, nature doesn’t knock—it crashes in with unforgettable force.

Silverbacks and Stories

    Stay in the Silverback Suite

One&Only Nyungwe House

Where stillness breathes and secrets stir. Deep within Africa’s oldest rainforest, One&Only Nyungwe House rests like a secret waiting to be found. Situated on the Gisakura tea estate and wrapped in jungle mist, it’s where silence speaks volumes and adventure hums beneath the canopy. It’s not just what you see—it’s how it makes you feel. At Nyungwe House, rainforest meets refinement on a working tea plantation that touches the clouds.

Between Mist and Canopy

    Sip, Savor, Soar

    At One&Only Nyungwe House, the Tea Lounge is where ceremony becomes celebration. Savor signature tea-infused scones, sip masterfully blended brews, and take in uninterrupted jungle views. Then, experience the grace and grounding of Rwanda’s traditional tea ceremony—an invitation to slow down and truly taste the moment.

    Trek with the Wild

    Step into a living rainforest where every rustle holds a secret. Follow expert trackers through Nyungwe National Park to encounter chimpanzees and rare monkey species in their natural habitat. Sky-high canopy bridges invite you to walk above the treetops, suspended between earth and mist.

    Wellness in the Wilderness

    Trade routine for ritual with a 3-day jungle wellness immersion. Whether tucked into the rainforest serenity of Nyungwe House or embraced by the volcanic foothills at Gorilla’s Nest, expect forest bathing, indigenous healing, and soul-deep calm. Here, restoration isn’t an activity—it’s a way of being.
