Highlights

Traditionally shared during weddings and other celebrations, banana beer has long been a central part of Rwandan culture. Although nowadays it can be sometimes bought at the local store, the traditional technique for making your own brew is a complex but amazing process. You will discover the fabrication of this iconic Rwanda's beverage. From the harvesting to the degustation you will discover anything to know about it.

About Ruhengeri

Ruhengeri, also called Musanze, is a town in northern Rwanda below the Virunga volcanoes, the usual base for visiting the park's mountain gorillas.

Ruhengeri lies at about 1,850 metres in northern Rwanda, on a fertile plain below a line of volcanoes in the Virunga range. The town, also known as Musanze, is a market and transport centre in a region of potato fields and pyrethrum farms. Its cool, misty climate comes from the altitude, and the cone-shaped peaks of Bisoke, Karisimbi and Sabyinyo loom on the skyline.
