Dian Fossey's Grave
American zoologist Dian Fossey became famous for her dedication
to studying and protecting endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
Her 18-year study inspired the 1988 film Gorillas in the Mist, and
promoted primate conservation worldwide. She was murdered in 1985,
and interred at Karisoke, a grave site she had constructed for
gorillas. The journey to her grave involves a five-hour trek, and
though the cabins and buildings are gone, visitors may glimpse
buffalo, elephants and even gorillas.
Information & Facts
Language
Kinyarwanda, French and English are the official
languages. French is widely spoken, but English is limited to a few
people in the tourist centres.
Money
The official currency is the Rwanda franc (RWF), which is
divided into 100 centimes. The US dollar is the hard currency of
preference; travellers cheques are difficult to exchange, even in
the capital. Credit cards are only accepted at the major hotels in
Kigali.
