THE CALL OF THE WILD
Surrounded by swaying eucalyptus trees, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest awakens a wild spirit of adventure. A place that encourages you to gaze into the mirror through eye-opening encounters with majestic mountain gorillas, an exceptional one-off resort on the edge of Volcanoes National Park that reveals the captivating secrets of Rwanda.
From the moment you arrive, fragrant fauna and flora greet you. A hidden garden atop the volcanic mountains where a world of roses and eucalyptus trees grow all year round in the fertile Rwandan soil. Not only does the plant-life contribute to everything from your welcome drink to your dinner and the logs burning on the fire – every plant and tree is chosen to encourage flourishing wildlife. A perfect ecosystem that is constantly growing – your backdrop, your hideaway and your palate.
Individual free-standing treehouses and suites sit suspended over sprawling gardens at eye level with the tall eucalyptus trees and volcanic surroundings. Feel the call of the trees from your secluded sanctuary where binoculars, a library of books and local Imigongo art await.
Seasonal garden-to-plate means you will feel connected to the natural turn of life in Rwanda, with cuisine crafted and inspired by local seasonal produce. Rest with and feel inspired by the uncertainty of not knowing what your next meal will be, but knowing that you will love it.
Get active with a revitalising trek or mountain biking session, then recuperate with a calming spa treatment at One&Only Gorilla’s Nest for the perfect healthy holiday. Even better, combine a stay here with a few days at sister resort One&Only Nyungwe House – two of the best wellness retreats in Rwanda.
Finally, tap into the energy and history of Rwanda, as you experience the very best cultural displays at One&Only Gorilla’s Nest and One&Only Nyungwe House. From local crafts to immersive village visits, authenticity is at the heart of these enlightening activities.
