For those interested in rooftop camping, which is increasingly popular in Rwanda, we offer the Land Cruiser VX/V8 with a rooftop tent option. This is a cost-effective solution for outdoor enthusiasts, with the choice of a double-sleeper tent or two tents for up to four people. However, please note that using two rooftop tents adds extra weight, which may impact performance on Rwanda’s steep roads, such as those in the Volcanoes National Park area, and could lead to increased wear on tyres and brake pads.
