Nyungwe House blends beautifully into its surroundings. Décor focuses on earthy colours and makes good use of local wood, terracotta tiles and slate. Local Imigongo artwork is displayed to great effect on the walls, adding a splash of colour and style.
Activities from Nyungwe House naturally centre on Nyungwe Forest National Park, including primate safaris, birding tours, and canopy walks.
