Share a cup of tea with the locals at Red Rocks Rwanda, an accommodation that focuses on community engagement and cultural experiences. This place makes you feel at home while discovering the daily lives of the surrounding community.
The locals are friendly and welcoming, inviting you to join their activities such as cooking, rearing animals, farming, and weaving baskets, which they sell in their workshops. Guests are also encouraged to take part in cultural events, where they are taught step by step. This helps you connect with the villagers and learn more about their way of life.
Red Rocks Rwanda also supports guided nature walks through Volcanoes National Park, where you can encounter golden monkeys and other primates. These primates mostly eat fruits but also feed on leaves, flowers, roots, stems, and insects when food is scarce. Our golden monkey trekking guide covers what to expect on this activity.
Because this activity is popular, booking in advance is necessary, and visitors must have a valid permit as proof of payment. Children under 15 years are not allowed, as they may not be able to follow the park rules. Our gorilla trekking rules guide covers the age requirement and other park rules in full.
Apart from jungle activities, Red Rocks Rwanda offers cultural programs within the hotel area. Guests can visit the art center to take part in traditional crafts or buy souvenirs to take home.
The lodge is close to Musanze town and Volcanoes National Park, making it a good base for guests preparing for gorilla trekking and other activities the following day.
Accommodation options include single, double, and triple rooms, with prices depending on the season: high, shoulder, or low. During the low season, fewer visitors come, and prices are reduced. Our best time to go gorilla trekking guide breaks down what each season looks like.
To make guests feel at home, the hotel even allows them to cook for themselves if they wish. This adds to the experience of staying here.
