About Ruhengeri

Ruhengeri (Musanze), Rwanda is a calm mountain gateway near Volcanoes National Park 🌋🐒. It’s great for digital nomads who want fresh air, lower costs, and easy access to nature. Internet and coworking options are more limited than in Kigali, but cafés and guesthouses can work for remote work 💻☕. Ideal for a quiet, scenic base.
