| Rwanda Eco-Tours Makes it to The Guardian Green List 2010 by Edwin Sabuhoro |
 |
The number of mountain gorillas in Rwanda is now in a far healthier state, thanks to companies such as Rwanda Eco-Tours which has convinced local communities that these magnificent animals are worth more alive than dead. Co-run by local Rwandan Edwin Sabuhoro, the company organises guided treks to see the gorillas in the heart of the Parc National des Volcans. Gorilla treks range from a one-day hike from the base of the Virunga mountains to tours lasting several days that include a visit to the Dian Fossey Research Station.
• +250 500 331, rwandaecotours.com. One-day trek US$716, four days $1,880.
