The lodge is set on the edge of Nyungwe Forest National Park in southwestern Rwanda. This pristine rainforest is home to chimpanzees and 12 other primate species, as well as hundreds of bird species. Elevated within a working tea plantation, the property enjoys sweeping views across the forested valleys and mist-covered hills.
Accommodation consists of elegantly designed rooms and suites housed in wooden villas perched along the hillside. Interiors feature warm African-inspired décor, hardwood floors and large windows that frame uninterrupted rainforest views. Private decks provide a peaceful setting to relax and listen to the sounds of the jungle.
Dining at Nyungwe House highlights fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The main restaurant serves seasonal dishes inspired by Rwandan flavours and international cuisine, often incorporating produce from the lodge’s own garden.
The bar and lounge offer an inviting atmosphere for afternoon tea, fine wines and evening cocktails overlooking the forest canopy.
Private dining experiences can be arranged in scenic outdoor locations.
