Adapt or die
Scientists warn that animals on the endangered list are monitored to extinction.
With over 70,000 known species of animals and plants on our planet, it’s dreadful to think that nearly a third of them are under threat. Yet, even the numbers of giant pandas, known to decline drastically before 1970 to about 1,000, have risen by only 17% in the past decade.
The Red List compiled by the International Union for Conservation in Nature (IUCN) includes 7,781 species on the endangered list and 5,210 on the critically endangered list. A handy infographic available here was shared by the IUCN, detailing the extent of the threat.

Rwanda is Amazing - Had a fantastic experience with Amahoro tours (through jenman safaris).
We got to see such amazing wildlife in Rwanda as well as some cultural/historical places like the genocide memorial/the king's palace/hotel des milles collines. The gorilla and chimpanzee trekking were real highlights. Accommodations were excellent!
And of course, thank you to our guide/driver Mugabe in helping us get to our various locations and explaining various aspects about Rwanda!

This is THE best tour company in Rwanda! - My husband and I had the absolute best experience with Amahoro Tours and highly recommend you book your Rwanda trip with them. Amos was extremely helpful and we fell in love with Rwanda in large part because we had such a great guide named Edmond who was very professional, prompt, and had a wealth of knowledge. He’s likely the best driver in the whole country so you should request him specifically! After visiting and working with other tour companies in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zanzibar, we can confidently say Amahoro Tours was the best and we look forward to using them again in the future.
