Welcome to the Where Else to Go podcast. After a brief hiatus learning some techniques that will make podcasting easier for me, I’m pleased to be back with Episode #17 featuring Bret Love talking about where else to go – traveling to Rwanda.
Rwanda is a small landlocked country just south of the equator in central and east Africa. The country is mountains in the west and savannah in the east, and although primarily an agricultural economy, tourism is becoming an important part of the economy.
While many people only know about Rwanda for its horrible history of genocide, travel blogger Bret Love fell in love with it and recommends traveling to Rwanda. Take a listen and learn why.
Bret says:
Rwanda. It’s relatively off the beaten path for most American travelers, and there’s a lot of amazing ecotourism attractions beyond following Dian Fossey’s footsteps and trekking with gorillas in Volcanos National Park. A lot of people associate the country with the Civil War and genocide that ended in 1994. But President Paul Kagame has completely transformed the country over the past 22 years, with an impressive infrastructure, impeccably managed tourism industry, and some of the most beautiful landscapes we’ve ever seen. Traveling to Rwanda was an amazing experience.
