Index
Based in South Africa, Philip Briggs has travelled extensively throughout the continent. He is the author of Bradt's Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Northern Tanzania: The Bradt Safari Guide with Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar, Ethiopia and Uganda; and is the co-author of Rwanda.
'Rwanda is excellent; it captures the mood of the place and gives a
positive and accurate account of a fantastic country.'
Art of Travel
'Every now and again you come across a guidebook which goes far
above and beyond the humdrum list of exchange rates, visa
requirements and one-line descriptions of sights and amenities.
This guide is just such a book. It 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
'At last, a well-written and dedicated guide to Rwanda.'
Footprints
'Rwanda is an excellent book that I have recommended to all the
visitors who come to Rwanda and who want to know more than just the
superficial accounts from the press. This guide presents a clear
and balanced overview of events in Rwanda's recent past, considered
by many Rwandans to be one of the fairest representations. The book
also describes the charm and attraction that make this country so
different.'
Dr Annette Lanjouw, Director of the International Gorilla
Conservation Programme
'The excellent Bradt Guide to Rwanda includes detailed sections on
the national parks.'
