BEAUTY IS CONTAGIOUS; THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN GORILLA NEIGHBOURS

Cute and smiling faces of Rwandans are everywhere and in plenty
 

Rating Rwanda as a spectacularly beautiful landlocked country located in the heart of Central Africa, is an understatement for beauty is relative and one man's meat is another man's poison. Let us just try to give a true picture of Rwanda and just trying. It is one of the 3 only countries (others are Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo) on planet earth to have a natural habitat Mountain gorillas; The Volcanoes National Park. Please note there are no Mountain gorillas in any zoo or animal park anywhere for they cannot adapt to any other conditions apart from their natural habitat. With less than 1000 of these gentle species categorized on International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red list as critically endangered and needing urgent protection due to their loss of habitat, illegal trade, hunting for bush meat and other reasons gives an adventure traveler a noble reason to visit Rwanda and in one way contribute towards the survival and existence of Mountain gorillas.
