Rwanda by Philip Briggs
Rwanda, dubbed the 'Land of a Thousand Hills' and home to Gorillas in the Mist, is emerging from its troubled past to become one of ecotourism's finest and friendliest destinations, thoroughly explored by this new Bradt guide. Gorilla viewing in the Virunga mountains is the crown jewel of this compact country's attractions; Nyungwe Forest harbours a wealth of birds and primates, including chimps and the Ruwenzori colobus monkey; hippos and giant Nile crocodiles bask in the lakes of Akagera Park. The authors' sound, practical advice guides the independent traveller from transport and accommodation options to scenic routes, wildlife and local culture.
Philip Briggs is the author of eight acclaimed Bradt African guidebooks. A tour leader and writer for several travel magazines, he lives in South Africa between travels. Janice Booth won the WEXAS Traveller writing competition in 1999 with a story about a Rwandan friend. Her interest in Rwanda dates from well before the genocide; and on her first visit earlier this year she discovered a safe, vibrant and forward-looking country.
