Tucked into a grove of eucalyptus trees at the edge of Volcanoes National Park, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest offers an exquisite escape surrounded by misty jungle and towering blue peaks. This botanical sanctuary is a gateway to one of Earth’s most moving encounters — a trek into the wild to meet Rwanda’s mountain gorillas.

Elevated above the gardens and forest floor, the lodge features 21 beautifully crafted suites and lodges. Each one is designed with natural elegance — from floor-to-ceiling windows and open-air tubs to private decks with fire pits or pools. Interiors are warm and inviting, blending rich woods, handwoven textures, and Rwandan-inspired décor.

Dining at the on-site Nest restaurant highlights local, seasonal produce, much of it sourced from surrounding organic gardens. Guests can relax in the lounge-style bar, complete with a glowing fireplace and views of the lodge’s lush grounds — perfect for winding down after a trek.

From gorilla and golden monkey trekking to coffee tastings, yoga, and village visits, your days here are as enriching as they are restorative. For those seeking wellness, the lodge’s tranquil spa offers massages, meditation, and nature-immersed treatments.
