Following in the footsteps of the gorillas in Rwanda...
In the shadow of Rwanda's mighty Virunga volcanoes, nestled in a forest of dancing eucalyptus trees, lies a resort that redefines your entire concept of luxury. One&Only Gorilla's Nest is a revelation. Here, you live eye to eye with nature, and you can take that literally during an exclusive gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park.
You'll stay in a treehouse where you can hear the birds waking up, take an open-air shower with a view of the jungle, and dine with your feet in the grass. Each suite is designed to bring nature inside: from the light-filled Virunga Suite to the ultra-private Silverback Suite with a fireplace and private infinity pool. In the morning, you'll be treated to a pre-trek breakfast full of local energy boosters (hello, Green Gorilla smoothie), and in the evening, you can join us at Nest Bar, where cocktails bloom with rose petals from the garden.
Face to face with the last mountain gorillas
From the lodge, you will depart for Volcanoes National Park for one of the world's most moving nature experiences: a gorilla trek. After a trek through bamboo forests and cloud forests, you will suddenly find yourself face to face with a family of mountain gorillas, a rare moment. You will see how a silverback watches over his group, how young gorillas playfully frolic through the undergrowth, and how the tranquility of the forest envelops everything.
