Bradt Rwanda (Bradt Travel Guides)

Rwanda has come far with rebuilding both its infrastructure and its self-confidence since Bradt published the first dedicated travel guide to this "Land of a Thousand Hills" three years ago. On the eve of the tenth anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, this new edition reveals that one of the world's finest and friendliest destinations for ecotourists has become even more accessible. The backdrop toGorillas in the Mist, Rwanda is much acclaimed for its gorilla-tracking opportunities, but this guide reveals many other experiences awaiting visitors.

This guide features:
*A special emphasis on the Rwandan people and their history and culture, with personal anecdotes
*Conservation areas and national parks in detail, including the Nyungwe Forest, the Akagera Park with its lakes and savannah, and Volcanoes National Park
*What to see and do in and around Kigali, including local markets, handicrafts, restaurants, and memorials
*"Giving something back," advice for the traveler wanting to get involved in local activities and development projects
*The very latest updates on transportation, hotels, and travel arrangements
