About Botswana
Rwanda is best known for one thing: mountain gorillas. But Rwanda offers more than primates. It is a country of rolling hills, rich biodiversity and a deep cultural legacy. In Nyungwe, you can photograph chimpanzees in the ancient forest, and Akagera National Park has made a quiet comeback as a big game destination. It’s a small country with strong conservation results and well-managed tourism.
