The tiny country of Rwanda, nestled right in
the centre of this great continent, is known
primarily for two reasons. Unfortunately, still
foremost in many peoples eyes is the horrific
period of instability that resulted in massive
Genocide. More agreeable is it’s image as the
home of the mountain gorillas.
The country is now safe and stable, and the
growing numbers of visitors are made very
welcome.
The past is not hidden away, however, and
the Memorial Centre in the capital, Kigali, is
a blatant and horrific reminder of the horror
of 1994.
Rwanda today is wholly different. With calm
pleasant beaches on the shores of crystal
clear lake Kivu, huge colonies of monkeys &
chimpanzees in the tropical Nyungwe Forest
National Park, & the mountains of the north
that are home to the famous gorillas, it’s
becoming increasingly popular.
The Parc National Des Volcans, not far from
the border with Uganda, is a collection of
volcanic mountains. If you’re planning to go
gorilla tracking you must book in advance, &
get a permit. Numbers are tightly controlled
and it’s far from cheap.
But the experience will live with you forever.
