Nestled at the edge of Nyungwe Forest National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the lodge is embraced by sweeping tea plantations and rolling hills. “Icyayi” means tea in Kinyarwanda, reflecting the lodge’s unique setting within the plantations.
Each suite is designed to harmonize luxury with the wild beauty of Nyungwe, creating an intimate sanctuary for those seeking a refined and naturistic escape. The lodge combines luxury with responsibility, offering guests an authentic Rwandan experience.
Opening soon in May 2026, the lodge will serve as a serene base for travelers eager to discover the natural beauty and biodiversity of Rwanda’s Nyungwe National Park.
