One&Only Nyungwe House Earns a Spot on La Liste's Top Hotels for 2026

One&Only Nyungwe House scored 95.5 points on La Liste's Top Hotels ranking for 2026, adding to a Forbes Five-Star rating for the same year and a Leading Boutique Resort nod at the 2025 World Travel Awards. The lodge sits on the edge of the Nyungwe Forest, Africa's largest mountain rainforest, built directly into a working tea plantation.

The property recently completed a round of facility upgrades, and remains one of the more understated entries in Rwanda's growing luxury scene, positioned for travelers pairing chimpanzee and colobus monkey trekking with a working plantation setting rather than a conventional safari lodge.
