GO APE AT ONE&ONLY GORILLA’S NEST, RWANDA

There’s no better way to explore nature than being in one of the world’s most exceptional natural locations.

Each space is beautifully designed to frame nature and offer private sanctuaries that seamlessly blend with the location thanks to their strategic positioning upon stilts. Private decks and in-room fireplaces provide the opportunity to live amongst the endless landscape, inviting the outside in, and allowing for a truly unforgettable African experience. A collection of suites offer spacious living and dining areas, as well as a truly natural experience with outdoor bathtubs set high amongst the trees, offering both privacy and seclusion in a botanical hideaway. 

Guests are invited to enjoy a selection of outdoor private dining experiences, barbecues and picnics with meals created by Executive Chef Bryan English and his team. Focusing on local and organic ingredients, the menus make use of produce from local farmers as well as an on onsite chef’s garden, to ensure the freshest farm to the dining experience.

In addition to the iconic gorilla trekking, guests of the resort can also immerse themselves in the wildlife, history and culture of Rwanda through a curated selection of unforgettable experiences such as hiking to spot golden monkeys in the jungle canopy, birdwatching or traversing the ancient Mount Bisoke in a challenging eight-hour adventure.
