Synopsis

More impressive even than the gorillas’ size and bearing is their unfathomable attitude to their daily human visitors almost everybody who visits the gorillas experiences an almost mystical sense of recognition,’ writes Philip Briggs in Bradt’s Rwanda of the country’s most popular residents. Fifteen years on from the tragic genocide of 1994, Rwanda is rapidly emerging as one of Africa’s most exciting ecotourism destinations, with three diverse national parks. Bradt’s Rwanda is the only English-language guidebook dedicated to the country, and this updated fourth edition lists the newest hotels, tours, activities, operators ­ and, of course, information on how to track its famous mountain gorillas.

A decade since the genocide, this new edition reveals that the "Land of a Thousand Hills" is not only one of the world's finest and friendliest ecotourism destinations, but is also peaceful, accessible, and safe.
Look inside for: The Rwandan people: their history and culture; when and where to see mountain gorillas; conservation areas and national parks; detailed coverage of the capital, Kigali; thoroughly updated practical information.
