Now into its seventh edition and written by Philip Briggs, the world''s leading writer of guidebooks to Africa, Bradt''s Rwanda has been the go-to guide for visitors to this historical and resurgent ''Land of a Thousand Hills'' for nearly two decades, and it continues to be in a class of its own when it comes to in-depth information on this emerald slice of East Africa. With freshly researched and updated details on developments across the country, Bradt''s Rwanda includes up-to-date maps of rapidly modernising Kigali, information on hiking to the summit of Mount Bisoke and a newly expanded chapter on excursions into the neighbouring DRC. In this new edition are extensive and recently updated maps and natural history information, details of kayak and canoe excursions on Lake Kivu and the Mukungwa River, all you need to know about tracking not only mountain gorillas in Rwanda''s Volcanoes National Park but also lowland gorillas in the Congo, and information about overnight stays on tea
