Immersed within the ancient rainforest of Nyungwe National Park, One&Only Nyungwe House offers a rare connection to one of Africa’s most biodiverse and ecologically significant landscapes. Surrounded by emerald-green tea plantations and dense mountain forest, the property occupies a setting where nature, conservation, and discovery shape every aspect of the experience. Contemporary African design, natural materials, and panoramic views across the forest canopy create an atmosphere of tranquillity and immersion, placing the rhythms of the rainforest at the heart of each stay.

Rooms and suites are thoughtfully positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape, featuring warm interiors, private decks, and uninterrupted views of the forest and tea-covered hills. The region is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity, with experiences centred around chimpanzee trekking, canopy walks, guided forest hikes, birdwatching, and encounters with the diverse wildlife that inhabits the park. Wellness experiences draw inspiration from the restorative qualities of nature, while dining celebrates Rwanda’s agricultural richness through seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms, plantations, and local producers.

One&Only Nyungwe House reflects a deep commitment to conservation, sustainability, and community engagement. Through support for environmental initiatives, partnerships with local communities, and experiences that foster a greater understanding of Rwanda’s natural heritage, the property offers an immersive encounter with one of the continent’s most remarkable rainforest ecosystems while contributing to its long-term preservation.
