Found at the foot of the mighty Virunga Volcanoes and five minutes’ drive from Volcanoes National Park, Gorilla’s Nest is an unbeatable location for your ultimate Africa adventure in the amazing Rwanda. With luxury lodge living and dining and all the untamed nature you could dream of, it’s no surprise that this incredible destination is favoured by guests from around the world.
Lodge living
Make your selection from an array of beautifully proportioned rooms, ready for you to rest after completing a long day’s trekking. The incredibly well-constructed lodge is built in traditional style with thatched Rwandese roofing and all the impeccable accommodation at this exotic resort will entertain guests with unparalleled views of the lush blue-green eucalyptus forest and the charming villages and shambas beyond.
Rwandese cuisine
Tantalising treats await your taste buds at this wondrous resort. The magnificent restaurant at Gorilla’s Nest offers diners tranquil vistas over the resort’s lawns and gardens while serving home-grown cuisine native to Rwanda. With fresh produce locally sourced, you won’t go hungry on the trail either - forest picnic baskets can be packed on request to take with you, while the resort's epic breakfast buffets will prepare you for the road.
Rare and wonderful activities
Gorilla’s Nest offers a unique and exceptional experience for all who visit. Hike out on guided tours to see the stunning gorilla population among other amazing species that dwell in the leafy bowers of the rainforest. Climbing expeditions up the volcano are also perfectly possible, as are visits to historic locations around the national park. In the shadow of the astounding Virunga Volcanoes, it’s hard to picture a more beautiful setting for a round or two.
