One & Only Gorilla's Nest

Love To Explore Rating: First Class 

Located at the foothills of the Virunga volcanoes is One&Only Gorilla's Nest. The lodge is a luxurious base for once-in-a-lifetime trekking into the Volcanoes National Park for an encounter with endangered mountain gorillas. Expert trackers guide you through the lush rainforest to find the enchanting animals in the thick forest. After unforgettable excursions into the national park, unwind in spacious treehouses, lodges and suites, each offering breathtaking views. Each room is designed to maximise views of the gardens and rainforest, with floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious terraces. Meals are served at ‘The Nest’, which offers cuisine centred around seasonal and local ingredients. Although the focus at Gorilla’s Nest is the opportunity to trek into the forest to see the mountain gorillas, there are a number of other activities to explore. Mountain bike through the area, or visit the restored cottage that belonged to renowned wildlife expert Jack Hanna. Any stay at One & Only Gorilla’s Nest will be unforgettable.
