Add to basket'Rwanda is an excellent book that I have recommended to all the visitors who come to Rwanda. This guide presents a clear and balanced overview of events in Rwanda's recent past. The book also describes the charm and attraction that make this country so different' - Dr Annette Lanjouw, Director of the International Gorilla Conservation Programme
'This guide gives the prospective visitor real and detailed insights into the country, its people, history, flora and fauna. Even if you end up never going to Rwanda, you will feel you know the place quite intimately by the time you get to the final page' - Wildside
Now into its 8th edition and written by Philip Briggs, the world's leading author of African guidebooks, Bradt's Rwanda has been the go-to guide for visitors to the 'Land of a Thousand Hills' for more than 20 years. Still the only standalone guide in English to this increasingly popular destination, it remains in a class of its own for in-depth information.
With fresh research into developments across the country, Bradt's Rwanda includes expanded coverage of Gishwati Makura National Park, which opened to tourism in 2021, and up-to-date details of rapidly modernising Kigali, considered Africa's cleanest city. Rwanda continues to change and develop at an unprecedented pace - no country has a higher proportion of female parliamentarians - and there's hardly a more accessible part of Africa. It's no less intriguing for the convenience, however, and Rwanda's superlative natural attractions constantly improve, with growing animal populations, as in Akagera National Park, where Africa's Big Five (rhino, lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo) can be seen.
This new edition also includes extensive maps and natural history information, details of kayak and canoe excursions on Lake Kivu and the Mukungwa River complement advice about staying on tea plantations at Sorwathe or Gisovu. It contains everything you need to know about tracking mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park (workplace of primatologist Dian Fossey of Gorillas in the Mist fame) and chimpanzees in Nyungwe Forest National Park (East Africa's largest surviving montane forest, harbouring numerous endemic birds and primates) and Gishwati Makura (which is also the only location for the rare golden monkey outside the Virunga mountains). Also covered are Nyanza, with its hilltop Rukari Palace Museum; and the National/Ethnographic Museum of Rwanda, the top cultural site in Huye (Butare). A chapter on nearby cities and national parks provides key necessary information to take an excursion into neighbouring DRC, including how to see lowland gorillas.
As not only the most in-depth guide available in English, but also the guide with the longest history in the country itself, Bradt's Rwanda is the indispensable companion for visitors including wildlife enthusiasts and Africa aficionados.
