Rwandan Flag
Wildlife and the scenic beauty in this mountainous country, including mountain gorillas and other wildlife, have led to a fast-growing tourism sector.
Agriculture is everywhere to be seen and due to its mountainous terrain the Rwandans have developed a unique method of farming on the steep hill sides.
English and French are the official languages although other languages are spoken in the country.
The late Dian Fossey spent 18 years in the Volcanoes National Park researching and studying the Rwandan Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat.  The Karisoke research centre in Rwanda was founded by Dian Fossey on 24th September 1967. Dian Fossey's Gorilla Fund International - Gorilla protection in Africa, through anti-poaching and daily monitoring, is central to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International’s historic mission.
