    Hiking

    Camp Site run by the Cooperative Ejo Heza Rubyiruko. The cooperative offers tents, meals, cultural experiences and guided tours around (but not inside) Gishwati Forest and across the highlands.
    To book, contact Obed Kalisa, phone/whatsapp: +250 788 886 796. (unlike what komoot believes, the site is not inside the National Park)
    Some of the hikes done there are:
    - Evening stroll at Bitenga Camp: komoot.com/tour/1918867007
    - To Bitenga Base Camp: komoot.com/tour/1918310369
    - Gishwati Pastures and Sebeya River Day 1: komoot.com/tour/895716082
    - Gishwati Pastures and Sebeya River Day 2: komoot.com/tour/895741889

    Hiking

    Komoot says that the Camp is in a protected area. This is NOT TRUE. The Camp is just outside a protected area, but the background map is not accurate and therefore one gets the erroneous message..
