This stunning property enjoys an enchanting setting on the edge of the Nyungwe National Park, a vast expanse of mountain rainforest that shelters chimpanzees and other rare primates. Arranged across five wooden villas, each guestroom and suite boasts stunning views into the forest canopy. Plus, a chic African design and open fires to ward off the evening chill. The main building features walls of glass that let the natural world in, as well as an alfresco dining area where you can savour organic, garden-to-plate creations.

Chimpanzee trekking is the highlight of any stay, but you can also go mountain biking through the lush rainforest, search for exotic birds with an experienced guide or get a glimpse into the inner workings of the property’s tea plantation. When not wandering along Nyungwe’s famous canopy walkway, you can also make time for yourself in the holistic jungle spa where eco-friendly treatments have been designed to rejuvenate both the body and mind. Lounging by the idyllic outdoor infinity pool is another wonderful option, as is yoga on the elevated deck with its exquisite mountain backdrop.
