More about the Bradt Guide to Rwanda
More updates: Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Ghana, Malawi
Posts on this update site are mostly culled directly from reader feeback and I have not verified them first-hand. All opinions and assessments are those of the individual correspondent, and their inclusion should not be mistaken for a direct endorsement by Bradt.
The update website is a free service to readers and can be used without obligation. However, travellers to Rwanda are encouraged to contribute their impressions and updates for the benefit of those who follow in their footsteps.
Finally, if you do find Bradt Rwanda useful, you’ll be doing me a big favour by posting a review on http://www.amazon.com, http://www.amazon.co.uk or a similar online bookseller.
A friend and I are considering going gorilla tracking in Rwanda next year, but have also seen some websites where tracking Lowland gorillas in Kahuzi Biega National Park in DCR are included. Do you have any up-to-date information about this, including whether it is safe to go there at the moment.
My friend is currently reading the Bradt Rwanda Guide.
Hi Ann,
Sorry I have no information more up-to-date than the short mention in the 5th edition of Bradt Rwanda.
It might be worth posting your question on a forum like the Thorn Tree & seeing if you can get feedback from other travellers.
Cheers, Philip
