Nyungwe Forest Lodge

Nyungwe Forest Lodge lies on the edge of Rwanda's Nyungwe Rainforest National Park in the South-West of the country. It boasts an impressive view overlooking the forest canopy from a ridge on one side and a tea-plantation on the other.

Nyungwe Forest Lodge is the National Park's first five-star lodge and only opened in March 2010. Nyungwe Forest Lodge consists of 24 luxury rooms which are situated in 6 wooden villas of four rooms each. There are also two presidential suites in separate villas with one of these having a Jacuzzi.

This is a luxury lodge designed for a Western market by an international company with international experience. As such the rooms are modern fit-outs and well decorated with traditional touches here and there. Each room is equipped with private decks which offer views overlooking the vast forest terrain.

The lodge also contains an outdoor-heated swimming pool, a relaxation retreat with two treatment rooms providing various massages and spa-treatments and a fitness centre. There is also a gift boutique and the lodge provides guests with Wi-Fi access too.

The dining areas are made up of a boma (a wood-fenced area containing tables and chairs around an open fire) which provides a great location for outdoor dining and sundowners, as well as a restaurant with a private terrace, a tea lounge and a bar .

There are also over 275 different species of birds and 75 different species of mammals that reside in these lush surroundings. The birds are particularly spectacular with giant hornbills, great blue turacos and red-breasted sparrow hawks being amongst the bird-watcher's favourites. Twenty-four of these species are endemic to this section of the Rift Valley alone.
