AUTHOR Guidebook writer and Africa expert Philip Briggs first backpacked through East Africa in 1986. He first visited Rwanda in 2000 to research the first edition of the Bradt Guide (co-authored with Janice Booth) to this country, which was then re-emerging as a viable ecotourism destination in the wake of the genocide that had torn it apart six years earlier. He has since returned to Rwanda on several occasions to research subsequent updates of the Bradt Guide. Rwanda aside, Philip has written and co-authored more than a dozen Bradt guides to other destinations, among them neighbouring Uganda and Tanzania, and he has contributed to many other books, travel and wildlife magazines. CONTRIBUTOR Janice Booth's career has included stage management, archaeology, compiling puzzle magazines, travelling, editing Bradt guides and co-writing Bradt guides to south and east Devon. Since the first edition of this guide she has lectured and written about Rwanda and led tours there. UPDATER Sean Connolly first travelled to Africa as a student in 2008, and since then has been returning to the continent regularly to research, teach English or simply to soak up the ambiance in Africa's countless little-visited corners. When he's not discussing verb tenses, diplomatic recognition or the merits of camel meat, you may find him riding in the back of a grain truck, sampling questionable local delicacies or seeking out a country's funkiest records. Raised in Chicago, Sean has been poring over maps since before he could read them, and has updated or contributed to the Bradt guides to Somaliland, Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana, Uruguay and Sierra Leone, along with the 6th edition of Bradt Rwanda. He's also the author of the first Bradt guide to Senegal.
