The tourism is rapidly increasing in Rwanda. Rwanda is located in central Africa and has much history and natural beauty. There are many interesting sights to see, with many guided tours to chose from. Each tour group is led by an experienced guide that specialises in teaching others about the landscape and wildlife of Rwanda . There are expeditions to places like volcanoes , waterfalls and rainforests which are home to many different African animals. Rwanda is home to a huge diverse population of animals including gorillas and the largest natural park for Hippos - some 20,000 are believed to be there. Although Rwanda is still a developing country it has quite a few hotels and its new international interest in tourism is giving it a comeback.
