One&Only Gorilla's Nest was named the top resort in Africa in Condé Nast Traveller's Readers' Choice Awards, and ranked #25 among the world's best resorts overall. The 21-room lodge sits at the foothills of the Virunga volcanoes on the edge of Volcanoes National Park, positioned as a base for gorilla trekking in Rwanda's northwest.

The recognition places it alongside sister property One&Only Nyungwe House as one of the strongest showings for Rwanda's luxury lodge scene, both drawing attention from Travel + Leisure and the World Travel Awards in recent years.
