Red Rocks camping & hostel

Charlotte Beauvoisin
By Charlotte Beauvoisin

For an altogether different – but truly authentic – community experience, you might consider Red Rocks in Musanze, near VNP entrance. There is a campsite here, with safari tents provided, also traditional Rwandan–style cottages and a hostel. It’s very basic and simple, but they are famed for their collaborative, inclusive community model.
