Rwanda may be famed as the world's premier gorilla-tracking destination, but there's much to experience besides in the "land of a Thousand Hills". Outdoor enthusiasts can cycle the scenic Congo-Nile Trail, spot chimps and over 300 species of bird in Nyungwe forest or hike to the summit of dormant Mount Bisoke. For culture lovers there are energetic Intore dance performances to enjoy and markets offering a variety of local handicrafts to browse.
Written by Africa-expert Philip Briggs, fully updated for this seventh edition and featuring expanded coverage of the eastern DR Congo, Bradt's Rwanda remains the only English-language guide book to this remarkable country, making it an essential travel companion for any visit.
