One&Only Gorilla’s Nest

One&Only Gorilla’s Nest

Elevated Sanctuary at the Edge of Volcanoes National Park

One&Only Gorilla’s Nest is a secluded eco-chic lodge situated in the eucalyptus­-scented foothills of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, offering direct access to gorilla trekking and immersive nature encounters. The property is designed to resemble modern treehouses built on stilts amidst the rainforest canopy. Each luxurious suite or villa provides expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, private decks, and warm natural interiors crafted from local stone, timber, and woven finishes to harmonize with the surrounding environment.

Guests enjoy easy access to gorilla and golden monkey treks, guided nature walks, and cultural experiences such as vibrant drumming ceremonies and storytelling circles. After a day of trekking, guests can unwind with spa treatments using indigenous botanicals, relax by the infinity pool suspended in the trees, or gather around the fire at the boma lounge under open skies.
