Red Rocks

Rwanda


This ramshackle place has rather gloomy and very basic rooms that on their own wouldn't be worth mentioning, but the camping area has nice shady plots and the two safari tents are OK for the price. It also wins big points for its relaxed vibe and easy social scene, and it also organises an array of interesting cultural activities.

It's 7km south of town on the road to Gitarama (Muhanga). The owners will happily pick you up at the bus station in Musanze if you give them a call.
