One&Only Gorilla's Nest

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.

Amazing, fantastic attention to detail, staff, room, food you could not fault, we did not want to leave it was so fabulous. Well done to all the staff and the team you made this a memorable experience Beautiful rooms as well, so quiet and gardens

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.

Graduation trip, everything was great, service was incredible, food was great rooms and views were amazing a perfect safari lodge in the mountains of Rwanda

This is a life time experience. A bucket list. Something great for a couple but we took teenagers who were equally in awe. Gorillas Nest is six star in service, thought, attention to detail. Tim who is GM and Zane, second in command, have the place operating like a well oiled machine. The accommodation is perfect, stilted villas with spacious living area and balcony views, everything is thought out down to the Nespresso machine and wide screen television if you want it. The Nest sleeps 45-50 max. Even when full it doesn’t appear so. The spa has great treatments and excellent masseuse. A good gym and pool. The hotel sits in 85 acres. Electric bikes are provided to zoom around on, or you can call for a buggy or walk. Delicious food and menus, nothing too much trouble to prepare. Staff are all charming. A credit to the hotel. … and the trekking and gorillas. Well breathtaking and I suggest two things if you can, obviously budget dependant: Book treks for two days. You’ll be with a different family of gorillas each day, and we were in different terrain and vegetation on each. If you can, book a private trek, it was very special to do this as a family of four on our own. I can’t say but groups are otherwise a max of eight visitors but you never know who you might end up with standing in your camera view or waking at a different pace. And do ask your company what to tip your trackers, porters and guide. They depend on you in part and so does the local economy, not to mention the gorillas.

The most amazing experience in the best place. Truly magical, amazing service, best staff, amazing food. Couldn’t have been more perfect.
