One&Only Nyungwe House is the second property of One&Only’s Nature Resorts collection, joining Australia’s Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley in the Greater Blue Mountains of NSW. The remote Rwandan resort is strongly committed to conservation and sustainability, but every creature comfort is still at your fingertips. Each once-in-a-lifetime experience is inspired by the land, the wildlife and the Rwandan people, and we have your first look at the best experiences available.

All 23 luxury guest rooms and suites have been architecturally designed to blend seamlessly with the unique landscape, while furnished balconies provide a secluded haven to watch wildlife. Inspired by the beauty of Rwanda, locally made textiles and artwork complement the interior design, and open fireplaces in each room fill the evening air with fragrant eucalyptus.

Home to one of East Africa’s last intact chimpanzee populations, early morning at Nyungwe is an ideal time to observe chimps in their natural habitat. Experienced, expert trackers will guide you on a deep forest trail, and when you encounter chimpanzees playing, wild and free, it will be an experience you will never forget.

Magical plantation views will greet you during stunning sunrise breakfasts as you enjoy flavours from the chef’s own garden. Created with fresh, organic ingredients you can savour local and international cuisine within the surroundings of a traditional Boma, lounging by the spectacular infinity pool or during an enchanting safari picnic. Plus, you can take a tour with a senior chef through the kitchen’s dedicated garden and get your own African culinary inspiration.

Ranging from easy to challenging, the numerous guided hiking treks extending from the resort let you explore the heart of Nyungwe National Park. You might venture to misty waterfalls, spot birds and monkeys along the trails, and look in awe at the spectacular views across the Bururi valley.

The One&Only Spa offers a range of exclusive beauty and wellness treatments that embrace nature and local traditions and use organic, natural skincare products from South African brand, Africology. Enjoy soothing indigenous spa therapies in the warm tropical air, or unwind with treetop yoga on the elevated deck before inspiring mountain vistas

Swoop between African mountains and see Rwanda from the unrivalled perspective of a helicopter. Flights take off and land at Nyungwe House’s private helipad, for a truly door-to-door service.
