Ultra Luxury Rwanda Holidays
The country’s most iconic bucketlist is trekking through Volcanoes National Park in search of endangered mountain gorillas. It is a journey of stillness and adrenaline guided by expert trackers whose quiet knowledge adds depth to every step. When you finally lock eyes with a silverback in the wild, time holds its breath. This is luxury of the rarest kind - not designed but discovered.
Beyond the forest, Rwanda offers rich layers of culture, resilience and soul. Kigali, the capital, is refreshingly calm and clean, with a creative edge. Spend your time exploring vibrant craft markets, design-forward cafés, and elegant boutique hotels. The Kigali Genocide Memorial is deeply moving, a powerful reminder of Rwanda’s past and its extraordinary recovery. This is a country that chooses hope every single day.
For the luxury traveller, Rwanda surprises and delights. One&Only Gorilla’s Nest is a standout retreat that feels both grounded and otherworldly. Nestled among towering eucalyptus trees, it offers open-air soaking tubs, log fires, curated menus and spa rituals that honour Rwandan botanicals. It is the kind of place where everything is thought of, before you even realise you need it.
Rwanda is a destination for the thoughtful explorer. For those who crave stories, silence, connection and awe. It is not about ticking boxes. It is about feeling changed. And that, in the end, is the true meaning of luxury.

Rwanda in a nutshell
To soak up Rwanda’s soulful culture, begin in Kigali. The Kigali Genocide Memorial is both moving and masterfully curated, offering a powerful insight into the country’s past and its path toward healing and hope.
At Inema Arts Centre, Rwandan creativity takes centre stage. This vibrant space hosts exhibitions, performances and workshops, celebrating contemporary African art in an atmosphere that feels more like a gathering of minds than a gallery.
For a deeper connection to rural life, visit the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village near Volcanoes National Park. Here, local communities share traditions through drumming, dance and craft, offering an immersive glimpse into Rwanda’s heritage.
Adventure Awaits
If you're heading to the north, Volcanoes National Park is Rwanda’s crown jewel. Gorilla trekking here is both physically rewarding and emotionally unforgettable. A rare chance to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural, mist-shrouded world.
For something off the usual trail, hike the forested paths of Nyungwe National Park. This ancient rainforest is home to chimpanzees, canopy walks and secret waterfalls, perfect for nature lovers with a curious spirit.
Those craving lakeside tranquillity can kayak across the glassy waters of Lake Kivu or hop between islets by boat. It’s a slower pace, with every ripple revealing another stunning mountain view.
Tastes to Try
Dine at Heaven Restaurant in Kigali for a modern take on African cuisine. This socially-conscious gem serves farm-to-table dishes with flair, alongside panoramic views and live music on balmy evenings.
For lakeside dining, The Kivu Paradise offers freshly grilled tilapia and rich Rwandan coffee, served with sunset reflections and a laid-back local vibe.
In the hills near Musanze, enjoy a rustic outdoor lunch prepared by the locals. Simple, hearty and bursting with flavour.
