  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.
