Rwanda
story by Marcia Desanctis 

Just a few years ago, gorillas were the only draw for visitors to irrepressibly beautiful, once-war-torn Rwanda. Today, the country's diverse wildlife - from silverbacks and chimps to the Big Five - makes it not only one of Africa's great safari destinations but also one of its most inspiring conservation sucess stories.
