An enclave of sprawling gardens surrounded by vast volcanic mountains, it is a rare combination of chic high-end living and the untamed beauty of the natural world. Grand cutting-edge architecture, rich African art and rooms suspended over landscaped gardens create an elevated glamorous charm, making this a rare vantage point to access the wonders of Volcanoes National Park.

I had the chance to stop by One&Only Gorilla’s Nest in Kinigi , and the place truly exceeded expectations. Even from a short visit, you can feel the luxury and serenity. Definitely a place worth experiencing more fully in the future!”

My son/I stayed here for several days while we trekked to see the mountain gorillas. The grounds resemble a botanical gardens better than we've ever seen; you can helicopter to/from the resort; the villas have all the latest equipment; they will transport you to/from your villas for meals (but we recommend walking to enjoy the scenery); and the food is magnificent. Worth a special trip.

Let me simply state that this amazing accommodation is everything that we could have ever hoped for. The attention to detail is top shelf in every imaginable aspect. We were first time gorilla trekkers and we had our share of trepidation about the process. The staff at the One & Only Gorilla’s Nest completely assuaged all of our worries. They provided water and snacks for the trail and helpdesk gear before we departed. The accommodations are beautiful in a surreal jungle setting. I came into this trip, thinking it would be a once in my life trip. I am already surveying in the future for a return. Do yourself a favor and end your search and book your room at this slice of Heaven.

The stay at the One and Only Gorilla Nest was a magical experience that exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail, warmth and friendliness of every staff member and the food was nothing short of incredible. My partner has food allergies and every staff member was aware and each meal was a delight as the chef adapted to meet the allergy requirements. Amazing. One and Only Gorilla Nest has thought of everything to make the day of your trek seamless and enjoyable. Our driver Oliver was sensational and was instrumental in organising a gorilla trek that met our fitness requirements and experience we were hoping to have. From the lunch and snacks available to take on the trek, celebration drinks, massage and cleaning of our hiking boots everything was thought of. We stayed in a Forest View room and it was beautiful and spacious. The fire place and deep soaking bath in the room created a blissful ambiance that was perfect after a long day. The staff ensured our mini bar was stocked with items we liked , the room was always spotless and the laundry service was invaluable. The gym, pool and wellness area are peaceful and perfect. The view from each area including the sauna is picturesque. I can’t wait to return.
