Today I head to Rwanda to experience a bit of a different side of Africa. I am hoping to secure a gorilla tracking permit so that I could go and see some gorillas in the wild. The area I am visiting is where Diane Fossey did her work on the mountain gorillas and the book/movie, "Gorillas in the Mist" is based, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. I would also like to visit the genocide museum and the hotel where the movie "Hotel Rwanda" was based on, which I watched in South Africa just before leaving for Rwanda.
Afterwards, I am not quite sure what I will be doing. I am debating between climbing in Kilimanjaro and just hanging out near the Rwenzoris mountain range in Uganda. On September 1, I take a flight from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania back to the U.S. So between now and then, I am not sure what I will be doing exactly, but I am looking forward to seeing more of Africa. This point forward, most of my blog entries will be able my travel experiences in East Africa.
