One & Only Nyungwe house

IN A FOREST RICH WITH FLORA THAT HAS THRIVED FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS, WITHIN THE LUSH GREEN EXPANSE OF A WORKING TEA PLANTATION, ONE&ONLY NYUNGWE HOUSE IS A TRANSFORMED, IDYLLIC

ECO RETREAT OFFERING ONCE-IN-ALIFETIME EXPERIENCES IN THE HEART OF MAGICAL RWANDA.

Trek to encounter the rare Mangabey monkey, lively in its own playground, as majestic mahoganies, delicate orchids, and exotic butterflies magically surround you. Soak up the knowledge of local elders who share the secrets of survival in this remote jungle environment. Then unravel within our beautifully re-imagined spaces, where every creature comfort is at your fingertips. From evening cocktails by the crackling fire pit and gastronomic feasts on the elevated deck, to soothing indigenous therapies in the warm jungle air and relaxing on your private deck before the theatre

of nature, this is Africa as you’ve never seen her before.

AN UNRIVALLED LOCATION

Imagine a place immersed in natural beauty. Remote; one-of-a-kind; where
the world’s best-kept secrets become yours to behold. Where once-in-a-lifetime moments are curated especially for you, inspired by the land, the wildlife and

the people, and where every creature- comfort is at your fingertips. This is a journey few will ever take. Welcome to One&Only Nyungwe House.

• One&Only Nyungwe House is set on the edge of the Nyungwe Forest in Rwanda’s mountainous southwest. Part of a working tea plantation, her roots are well-established, while her recent transformation provides a distinctly modern energy with incredible design and every comfort you could ever need or desire.

• We believe the adventure begins on the journey itself. That’s why our transfers are so much more than transfers.
  Our charismatic hosts welcome you personally at Kigali International Airport, and take you on a breathtaking journey in a luxury SUV, or a scenic helicopter ride, equipped with every creature- comfort. Stopping at remarkable

  points of interest along the way, with refreshments and a beautifully prepared picnic, the surprises begin before you’ve even touched down at the resort.
