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 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.
