Nyungwe, Rwanda

One&Only Nyungwe House

An Insider's Take
'Perched on the edge of Africa's oldest rainforest, this ultra-luxury retreat offers front-row seats to one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems.' What's Special? One&Only Nyungwe House sits within Rwanda's pristine Nyungwe National Park, home to 13 primate species including chimpanzees and the rare L'Hoest's monkey. The lodge's elevated position provides breathtaking views of the ancient rainforest canopy, while the famous 160-meter canopy walkway - one of only three in Africa - offers an unparalleled treetop adventure just minutes away.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book your chimpanzee tracking permit well in advance through the lodge - only 64 visitors per day are allowed into the forest, and this exclusive experience often sells out weeks ahead.
Don't Miss The sunrise tea plantation walk through the nearby Gisakura Tea Estate, where you can witness traditional tea picking and enjoy fresh brews with panoramic mountain views. The lodge's spa treatments using indigenous forest botanicals are equally unmissable after a day of primate tracking.
