One&Only Nyungwe House

One&Only Nyungwe House is a refined rainforest retreat in one of Africa’s oldest montane forests. Surrounded by lush tea plantations and dense emerald canopy, the lodge feels both elevated and deeply connected to nature. Nyungwe is renowned for its biodiversity, home to 13 species of primates, including chimpanzees and colobus monkeys, as well as hundreds of bird species, making this one of Rwanda’s most enchanting wilderness settings.

The property features elegant rooms and suites designed to blend seamlessly with the forest landscape. Warm wood finishes, woven textures, and expansive windows frame uninterrupted views across the treetops and tea fields. Each room includes a private deck or balcony, spacious en-suite bathrooms with freestanding bathtubs and rain showers, and thoughtful design details that echo Rwanda’s natural palette. The atmosphere is serene and restorative, with mist drifting through the forest at dawn and birdsong defining the atmosphere of the day.
