One&Only Gorilla’s Nest
Set on the edge of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest is a secluded forest retreat where luxurious treehouses, extraordinary wildlife and the rich culture of Rwanda come together. Surrounded by towering eucalyptus trees and fragrant gardens, it offers an immersive base for exploring the volcanic landscapes of the Virunga Mountains and encountering the region’s celebrated mountain gorillas.
The Hotel
Accommodation is designed to bring guests closer to nature, with individual treehouses and spacious suites nestled among the forest. Each features generous outdoor spaces, forest views and elements that encourage alfresco living, from open-air showers and baths to private decks and fireplaces. The largest accommodation, the Silverback Suite, adds a private pool and open-air lounge, creating an especially secluded retreat.
Amenities
Adventure is central to life at Gorilla’s Nest, with mountain gorilla trekking the defining experience. Guests can also explore the surrounding landscape through guided nature walks, hiking and cycling, while cultural experiences include visits to local communities, coffee tastings, traditional drumming and dancing, and a visit to Handspun Hope, a social enterprise supporting local women.
Back at the resort, The Nest serves seasonal, daily changing menus inspired by the surrounding landscape, with ingredients sourced from the property's own kitchen garden and local producers. The resort also features a jungle spa, pool and wellness facilities, while private dining can be arranged in atmospheric settings including the former home of wildlife expert Jack Hanna.
With its combination of exceptional wildlife, immersive experiences and intimate forest setting, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest offers a sophisticated gateway into one of Africa’s most extraordinary destinations.
