Each of ten luxurious Bandas named after the Rwandan lakes features a spacious bedroom with a cozy fireplace, as well as a private terrace with sweeping views of the breathtaking surrounds.

One & Only Gorilla’s Nest Lodge
If you are interested in Rwanda gorilla trekking, and you have the means, this is the place to stay. The retreat is beautiful, nestled in extensive, gorgeous gardens. Each “room” is separate, and is structured similar to a tree house among forest of tall trees. The rooms are beautiful, with lovely, appropriate decor for the location, and with views of the surrounding trees. Rooms feature Dyson hair dryers, bath tubs, showers, and outdoor showers. Each room has a balcony to enjoy in off hours.
The One and Only Gorilla’s Nest is hands down the winner for ultimate luxury and comfort. Maybe the best hotel/resort. The property is of the highest quality build, exceptionally serviced, beautiful in every detail.
The location is exceptional in natural beauty and access to the silver back gorilla! Unforgettable experience. The Architecture, form, and design are superlative from the second you arrive to the moment you leave; you feel pampered and cared for. The facilities are breathtaking.
Resort also offers massages/spa services, bikes to ride, etc. for guests. There is a dessert bar featuring cookies and sweets in the lobby to also enjoy. The rooms are beyond compare. The Post Ranch does the same thing but the One and Only knocks it out of the park. The laundry turnaround time is with 24 hours and sometimes 2-3 hours. Everyone connected to this property gets my greatest admiration and respect.
If you do go on a trek, please hire porters. They are more helpful than you can imagine, carrying your backpack, helping you in the difficult parts of the hike, etc. They are truly grateful for your patronage, as the income is very much needed and appreciated.

Without sacrificing comfort, the hotel includes a masseuse, full bar, swimming pool, bike tours and unparalleled service, among other things. An excellent choice for those looking for comfort on their trips to see Gorillas or any other wildlife in Musanze. Luxurious enough to be exclusive, Friendly enough to be inclusive.
Lodge is spacious, clean and welcoming and the staff and friendly and helpful. Food is good, but if you are vegan then breakfast and a packed lunch can be limited, however chef does his best and is open to suggestions. The driver is so much h more than a driver, really helpful and reliable – more like your own personal tour guide. If I were to return to the area, I would definitely stay here.
