While the war raged in Rwanda, the countrys popular Gorilla tourism industry, made popular by the famous conservationists Dian Fossey/ Jane Goodall , came to a halt.
Some Gorillas even fell prey to human diseases from the post war situation. These very rare `silverback' mountain gorillas were being pushed further to the brink of extinction.
However, some serious conservation efforts have resulted in the numbers rising and the future for this primate looks brighter now.
The Gorilla sighting tours are becoming popular again in Rwanda's `Volcanoes National Park'. Tours can be arranged thru the Rwanda tourism board. (reservation@rwandatourism.com )

On our trip to Rwanda, we often heard of this very tempting option, but a short trip with much work to do, meant that it was something we left to do another day...

hindu1936 Thu Apr 13, 2006 05:52 UTC heartbreaking isn't it? much like the american massacre of the native indians at sand creek and wounded knee.	sarahandgareth Fri May 20, 2005 21:35 UTC I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to visit the Ntarama church. What an awful time in the world's history. Great page.
