The stay

What to know about this stay.

Gorilla trekking into Volcanoes National Park is the obvious centerpiece at One&Only Gorilla's Nest, alongside cultural experiences with the surrounding community in Kinigi and Musanze. Given how limited gorilla permits are, this is typically a property travelers book well ahead of the rest of a Rwanda itinerary rather than adding it as an afterthought.

Rooms split between those overlooking the golf course fairways and Virunga Mountains and others tucked snugly into the forest, alongside a two-bedroom cottage once owned by Jack Hanna. Being positioned this close to the largest family group of Mountain Gorillas in the Virungas is the whole reason most guests choose this lodge specifically.
