Sleeping among tea fields and ancient rainforest
On the edge of Nyungwe National Park, nestled in the heart of an undulating tea plantation, lies One&Only Nyungwe House. Fog hovers among the treetops, colobus monkeys move through the canopy, and from your suite, you look out over an endless green landscape.
From the lodge, you’ll set out with a guide into the ancient rainforest in search of chimpanzees, waterfalls, and unique flora. Afterward, the warmth of Nyungwe House awaits, with local cuisine, a crackling fire, and a private terrace where only the sounds of the forest can be heard.
Chimpanzee Trekking in Rwanda
Nestled among the greenery, One&Only Nyungwe House invites you to unwind. Sample creative dishes with Rwandan touches, enjoy a quiet moment by the pool, or gaze out from the terrace over the rolling tea fields. Nature is always close at hand, even in the suites, treehouses, and villas. From your accommodations, you’ll look out over a virtually unbroken green landscape, while chimpanzee trekking, birdwatching, and hikes through the rainforest can be experienced right from this setting. The spa, yoga sessions, and peaceful moments in the open air will help you unwind completely.
One of the signature experiences at One&Only Nyungwe House is the chimpanzee trek. Early in the morning, you’ll set out from One&Only Nyungwe House with experienced guides into the rainforest of Nyungwe National Park in search of one of the semi-habituated chimpanzee groups. The trek is active and adventurous, as the chimpanzees move freely through the dense forest, making every trek unique and special.

Why We're Fans
One&Only Nyungwe House lets you discover a surprisingly green side of Rwanda. Its location between a working tea plantation and the rainforest is truly unique, but it’s the experiences that really stick with you: the calls of chimpanzees among the trees, the morning mist over the tea fields, and the warmth with which you’re welcomed back after every new discovery.
