Rwanda is most famously known as the home to the extremely scarce and exquisitely beautiful mountain gorilla, but its dedication to ecotourism now also brings tourists a chance to hike through ancient forests and see plants, butterflies and birds found nowhere else on earth.
The equatorial rain forests of Uganda offers visitors the opportunity to see the highly endangered mountain gorilla and this exquisitely beautiful country is also home to the origin of the Nile River and some of the best river rafting on earth.
