Musanze district is the hub of Rwanda’s tourism industry and a source of many adventures. It has a long list of adventure activities on offer. However, when the spotlight is put on adventure, most people will immediately think of the mountain gorillas - This would be right since the primates have positioned themselves as Rwanda’s flagship tourist attraction.

But there are other must-see attractions in Musanze, such as the Musanze Caves, as well as other animals that reside in the Volcanoes National Park. There is also the historic Buhanga Eco-Park, which was a sacred forest where Rwandan kings performed initiation ceremonies. Musanze is only three hours drive from Kigali. But have you ever thought about what you can experience here after your gorilla trekking excursions? Red Rocks Rwanda has a solution for you.

This year, staring in June, from Friday to Sunday; Red Rocks is going to make your weekend warmer, and even more exciting! We have lined thrilling activities just for you that will make your weekend and You will never forget Rwanda!

Most of these activities we have lined up are cultural. So forget about the gorillas in the meantime. We want to immerse you in Rwanda authentic culture. And We hope you are going to enjoy. It will be a memorable experience, particularly tailored for you.

Let's start with beer.

Traditional Rwandan liked their beer, made naturally from, of course nature. We used bananas to make our beer. It’s not potent, that’s why our beloved banana beer mostly was used for social interaction. You’re going to learn how we used to make this “friendly” banana beer, demonstrated by our local women. (By the way, you should know that Rwanda culture allowed women to make beer but men were the most consumers of it!)

Come also to learn traditional ways of farming, the African way.

We have also designed a weekend getaway packed with music, dancing and drumming. Our famous Intore dancers will get you with the groove.
