Gisakura inside Nyungwe Forest Reserve
Gisakura, Nyamasheke Nyungwe Forest Reserve gives the hotel a forest-reserve base, while garden and mountain views define the outlook. For Rwanda itineraries, the stay is tied to Nyungwe rather than an urban overnight.
22 rooms with smart casual dining
Twenty-two rooms keep the property compact, with dining on site and a smart casual dress code. One&Only Nyungwe House suits travelers who want lodging, meals, and evening attire handled inside the hotel plan.
Farm-to-table sourcing, archery, and spa facilities
Farm-to-table, organic, and local sourcing shape the kitchen, alongside restaurant, bar, room service, spa, pool, fitness center, bike rentals, and archery. Forbes gave the hotel 5-Star recognition in 2025 and 2026.
