 Jane Behrend
Come and learn about the fascinating Gorilla trekking programs in Rwanda and Uganda with Volcanoes Safaris. After Praveen Moman's stimulating presentation at RMAPTA's Discover Africa a few years ago, many of you have been watching with great interest the great strides that Volcanoes have been making in eco tourism in Rwanda and Uganda. Jane will give us not only an update on the improvements to the properties but also, more importantly updates on the gorillas.
