Experience and appreciate Rwandan culture and traditions

Red Rocks Cul­tur­al Camp­site in Musan­ze, Rwanda, is not just a place to pitch your tent or park your RV; it is a place to immerse your­self in the loc­al cul­ture and tra­di­tions of the Rwandan people. 

One of the most excit­ing aspects is the oppor­tun­ity to attend and par­ti­cip­ate in com­munity cul­tur­al per­form­ances; a cent­ral part of the exper­i­ence at Red Rocks. Red Rocks provides a plat­form for com­munity mem­bers to share their art and cul­ture with vis­it­ors from all over the world.

Cul­tur­al per­form­ances by mem­bers of the loc­al com­munity provide vis­it­ors with a chance to wit­ness tra­di­tion­al dances, music, and storytelling that are an essen­tial part of Rwandan culture. 

The per­form­ances are a feast for the senses. The col­ours, sounds, and move­ments of the dan­cers and musi­cians are a joy to watch. 

Per­formers wear tra­di­tion­al cos­tumes that are brightly col­oured and adorned with intric­ate pat­terns, while the music is played on tra­di­tion­al instru­ments like the inanga (a type of zith­er), the ikembe (a type of thumb piano), and the umu­duri (a type of drum). 

The dances are ener­get­ic and rhythmic, and they tell stor­ies about the his­tory and tra­di­tions of the Rwandan people.

The storytelling aspect of the per­form­ances is par­tic­u­larly fas­cin­at­ing. They are usu­ally told by an eld­er in the com­munity, and they often involve myths and legends that have been passed down through generations. 

Stor­ies are a way of pre­serving the cul­tur­al her­it­age of the Rwandan people and passing it on to future gen­er­a­tions. At Red Rocks Cul­tur­al Camp­site stor­ies also help vis­it­ors con­nect with loc­al people and under­stand their his­tory and traditions.

Learn and participate in Rwandan culture and traditions

The com­munity cul­tur­al per­form­ances at Red Rocks are more than just enter­tain­ment.

In addi­tion to watch­ing the per­form­ances, Red Rocks guests have the oppor­tun­ity to par­ti­cip­ate in them as well. 

Red Rocks Cul­tur­al Camp­site offers work­shops in tra­di­tion­al dance, music, and storytelling, and vis­it­ors can learn from the per­formers themselves.

Rwanda is com­mit­ted to the con­ser­va­tion of the moun­tain gor­il­las, with a por­tion of the rev­en­ue from gor­illa tour­ism going towards their pro­tec­tion and hab­it­at pre­ser­va­tion. Strict reg­u­la­tions ensure the safety of both the gor­il­las and visitors

About Red Rocks Initiatives for Sustainable Development

Drip­ping with sus­tain­able tour­ism and com­munity devel­op­ment poten­tial, the Vol­ca­noes Nation­al Park in north­west­ern Rwanda is one of the last hab­it­ats in the world for moun­tain gorillas.

Red Rocks Ini­ti­at­ive for Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment is advoc­at­ing eco­tour­ism and cul­tur­al tour­ism as part of its pro­gram to pro­mote sus­tain­able com­munity devel­op­ment around Vol­ca­noes Nation­al Park.

The non­profit is a spin off from Red Rock Rwanda, which is a social enter­prise that is all about travel & tour­ism that pro­motes sus­tain­ab­il­ity through vari­ous com­munity, cul­tur­al, and envir­on­ment­al programs. 

We believe eco­tour­ism and cul­tur­al tour­ism activ­it­ies can gen­er­ate con­sid­er­able bene­fits for our com­munit­ies, as well as provide invalu­able inter­cul­tur­al and know­ledge exchange bey­ond tra­di­tion­al ‘volun­tour­ism’. 

Red Rocks Ini­ti­at­ives involves loc­al people in everything it does. In that spir­it, we wish to forge part­ner­ships with like-minded indi­vidu­als and organ­isa­tions from around the world who would like to help us advance our sus­tain­able tour­ism and com­munity devel­op­ment projects.
