Nyungwe House (One & Only)

Gisakura, Nyamasheke Nyungwe Forest Reserve

Rwanda

Little known outside Africa the Nyungwe Nationalpark is one of Africa´s biggest and oldest rainforests. It is located in Ruanda, the safest country in Africa, at the border to Congo. In this middle of nowhere bold and demanding travellers find a five-star luxury hotel surrounded by the beautiful working Gisakura teaplantation. It is operated by the One-and-Only-Luxury-hotel chain and has 22 rooms in 6 villas plus two suites. Its a very special five star experience in the jungle and could be a James Bond location. Highlight: a fireplace, an infinity pool, a spa, a great design and a very friendly staff.

Go for the Chimps!
Nyungwe National Park is home to chimpanzees and monkeys. Experienced guides lead through the rainforest.

Go for gorillas!

From Kigali airport it is a 2,5 hours SUV ride or a 25 minutes helicopter flight. From Nyungwe House to the Gorilla`s Nest it takes a 45 minutes helicopter flight.

Teens yes, kids not really. Nyungwe house means: jungle hikes or enjoying the tranquility.

Highly expensive, but absolutely worth it if you can afford it.

More than five hours car drive in a posh limousine with a driver from Kigali to the hotel (helicopter available).

Breathtaking Hotels.
