Rwanda
Rwanda is a small East African country, situated a few degrees south of the Equator and bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Hills' it is a mountainous country, especially in the west, with savanna in the east and numerous lakes. Amongst its many and varied ecosystems, Rwanda has amazing wildlife and a particular speciality, hidden within the jungle of the Volcano National Park in the north, there are families of mountain gorillas which are habituated to carefully controlled visits by small groups of wildlife tourists. Whilst the economy is based mostly on subsistence agriculture, with coffee and tea the major cash crops, tourism is increasingly important and is now the country's leading foreign exchange earner. Rwanda has achieved stability within the last decade and with a government that is rated as the most efficient and least corrupt in Africa, it is also one of the safest countries in the region.
