drumming and singing rwanda, despite its diverse wildlife and natural beauty, has for decades been an unlikely tourist destination. 25 years ago, the genocide here grabbed international headlines. over 800,000 people were killed in inter—ethnic violence injust 100 days. but a quarter of a century on, and rwanda has become one of africa's bucket list destinations. and its biggest draw, the furry, curious cousin to us humans, the mountain gorilla.

so, i have been promised a chance of a date with a silverback gorilla... i feel like i should help them push. ..that is, if i ever make it up the mountain. oh, my god, be careful! yeah, yeah, yeah! i am standing here at the foothills of rwanda's volcanoes national park, which is the home and sanctuary of 20 troops of gorilla. it is very exciting, off we go. the park is part of the larger virunga conservation area and a world heritage site. it is also the only place in the world where the gorilla population is on the rise. and this year marks a0 years since money from tourism was first used for their conservation. francis, hey! welcome to the park.

so this is where the park begins, you can see the bamboo. there is a trench here, this marks the difference for making the communities understand where the park begins, and where the buffaloes cannot come over. ahead of me there is a team of trackers. hey, trackers, i'm lucy, good to meet you! before any traveller takes to the mountain, the rangers share essential knowledge. it's so beautiful walking through here. yes, sometimes gorillas come down to the bamboo. really, they come this far down? they can even come outside. once we come to the gorillas we need us to stay together, we are creating a distance between us and the gorillas, we need to have seven metres' distance. we need to respect their movement. there is a sound, they have to do like a... clearing throat sound once they do that, it is confirmation everything is ok.

0h, 0k. but once the silverback, or any gorilla say... coughing sound that means that's not good. that's not good. so what i am doing, i have stopped. but then if i hear... low grunting... so i make the situation feel 0k. it's pretty huge. these are gorilla droppings, it leads you to where the gorillas are. so you follow the paths of poo. as i walk, branches are gripping my legs, but the trackers have cleared a path for us, and i can hear gorillas, i have heard at least three grunts and gorilla noises. the walk is pretty tough, i am not going to lie. the higher we get, the higher the altitude, my breath

is getting shorter. three hours, and 4,000 metres above sea level, and i was beginning to fear i might not ever find a gorilla. whispers: oh my god! it's there! this is the susa group. it's made up of 23 gorillas, including, unusually, three silverbacks. you really should be scared, but they are so big, i've got francis like my life depended on it.

and then a moment i have been waiting for. time to put my gorilla talk to the test. throat clearing noise i know you have the trackers, but how do you make sure you always find them? how do you know? the thing is, make sure you don't lose them any single day. you follow their movement every day. so that when you spend the night you study them the next day, so you follow them all year round. how long have you been doing this? for now, 18 years. 18 years? wow, you must love them. yes, this is the work that is dynamic, you always see new, different things. the way you see of the gorillas today, is not the same to what you see tomorrow. whispers: we have really lucked out here. we have the mother cradling her baby, we've got blackbacks, and we've got the mother of all gorillas, the silverback right there. he's just watching us watching him.

i can't believe we're this close. my mind is just absolutely blown, they are so beautiful. and when you think we share 98% of our dna with these great apes, you understand why they, too, are curious about us. rwanda, in collaboration with international conservation partners, has achieved remarkable success in not only protecting but growing the mountain gorilla population. in fact, there is now 1,000 mountain gorillas up here in the wild, up from 200 just two decades ago, when they were on the brink of distinction. this is primarily down to the decrease in poaching, when gorillas were hunted for meat. but in an effort to protect the gorillas, poachers were trained to become mountain guides and porters here, further supporting tourism. talk to me about poaching here. poaching, there is no problem. but there is no problem because we keep avoiding it

from happening, by working with the communities and having better poaching pathways. you can't say it is done and we leave, so we keep on. but of course more gorillas means they need more space. the government has now pledged to expand the forest by 23%, adding almost 4,000 hectares to its current 16,000. the expansion of the park, it is about making the space biggerfor the gorillas, but it's another way to bring the climate to where it needs to be. so, it's good for rwanda, good for the planet. yes, it will be for all of us. and whilst the numbers here are increasing, the conservationists here cannot become complacent. between patrolling the park for any remaining poachers and monitoring the gorillas' health, there is an army of people involved

in protecting them. noheli bosco is a gorilla doctor, and the jungle is his clinic. today he has come to check on one of his patients. hey, noheli! i'm good. welcome to the jungle. thank you. yeah. how do you know which one, exactly who is who? each one of this group has a specific nose print. these guys have the gorilla card, you look at the nose print, and you think oh, it is this one. then over time you get used to it. talk to me about how important your work is to conservation. well, very much important, gorilla doctors is credited for half the population growth. but everyone has contributed, including tourism. this increases 4% every year. in fact, tourists pay $1,500 to spend an hour up here with these great apes. that's an expensive trek, but it is contributing to conservation. when you are preparing for maybe a medical action, you are so stressed, you don't

know what is going to come out, you just come here stressed, have to be responsible for these guys, you have to be responsible for gorillas, you have too much new in a very short time. but then you come back the next morning, and you see the guy playing or picking up some food, you're like, i made it. so that's why you like it. now that the trackers have located the gorillas, the tours for travellers have began. so now i am tagging along with one of francis' tourist groups. grunting aggressive gorilla. high—flyer gorilla. there he is! chowing down on some leaves. you can just hear the little grunts in the distance, it is quite hard to tell if it is aggressive or playful grunts. how did you feel when the gorilla came out here and ran and jumped out at you?

scared! just standing there, waiting to see what happens. whispers: he's up there in the tree somewhere. i think he's getting ready tojump down because he's heard how good this food was. we've been planning this trip for 12 months, it's been on our bucket list for quite some time. it's been amazing. what kind of feeling? a wonderfulfeeling. it's very rare that i'm lost for words, but these beautiful majestic creatures have just completely taken my breath away

and just being able to watch them eating, interacting, and even communicating with us in their natural habitat is one of the best experiences that i've ever had the pleasure of having on my travels. i highly recommend it. still to come: i have signed up to explore some alternative ways to experience this. ‘the country of 1,000 hills'. i take on these african champs... oh, no! i'm last! and i head down to explore one of the deepest lakes in the world. once a hotbed of violence during the conflict, but now a go—to destination for any traveller here. it looks like there is a party over there, a beach party — my kind of place.

so now that i've spent time with the awesome gorillas, i'm heading off the beaten track to see what else rwanda has to offer. the last two decades have seen a real turnaround in the country's international appeal and tourism is really on the rise. in fact, rwanda has set itself up as africa's new big luxury travel destination. so it's no surprise that tourism economy here is booming, it's growing by 15% every year, making it one of the fastest growing tourism economies in the world. the government traditionally focused on attracting big spenders to stay in luxury lodges and spend a small fortune treking with gorillas. but tourism is opening up to cater for people

with all kinds of budgets, and if you are an adrenaline junkie, you can have one hell of a ride here. if you don't mind, i can show you your bike. so, are you going to ride with us? yes, i'm looking forward to it. this is your bike, it's an e—bike. it has a battery, so if you need assistance, just press that. press right here for assistance. third and fourth. ultimate power. yeah so i think you're very excited. i'm very excited. how could i not be excited? look at this view! he runs four new bike routes to the country, covering over 500 kilometres of track. what is the bonus of having these bikes for tourists? the e—bikes, it doesn't matter how steep the hill is, anyone can go.

rwanda has so many beautiful views, wonderful places. many hills. supported by the world bank, the government's 2020 vision for the reconstruction of the country after the genocide has led to huge investment in rwandan infrastructure. that's why these roads are a joy to ride. what's it been like for you witnessing just how popular cycling's getting here? it makes my heart feel happy because i'm doing the cycling trips with the guests, people from all over. he tells me that over the last few years cycling has really taken off here. perhaps inspired by these guys, the national rwandan cycle team — they are african champions. hey, guys! they have inspired the nation and the international cycling community with their success story and olympic performances. from struggling racers a few years ago, they are now one

of africa's most successful tea ms. i wanna see what you've got, guys. i know i'm on an e—bike but shall we race? go! laughter. oh, my god! oh, no! i'm last! yeah, i was never going to beat these champs. so where are we going now? we're going to visit some locals just to taste the real rwandan life. oh, i'm going to get a true rwandan experience? hello! nice to meet you. nice to meet you! this is a cooperative made up of women whose husbands

have abandoned them. to support themselves, they now sell traditional banana beer. and i'm going to help make some brew. women are playing a pivotal role in rebuilding the country and economy, particularly since hundreds of thousands of men lost their lives during the genocide. now rwanda has the highest number of women in parliament in the world — 68% of lawmakers here are female. do you enjoy sharing rwandan culture with tourists? we are just crushing them? oh, my god, you have got to be strong. singing.

that was amazing! thank you, thank you very much! collect it like so, pour it back over, it leaves the bits behind. 0nce we've distilled the juice, it's time to grind the millets to allow for fermentation. it's a lot less strenuous than crushing the bananas. how is this, am i doing a good job? yes. it's all right. since i've got to get back on myjourney, i was relieved

to hear they have plenty of banana beer already made for me to try. delicious. i was not expecting this at all. i mean, just the level of hospitality they've welcomed me in, i genuinely feel like one of them. they've been nothing but kind. and to think we've gone from a pile of bananas and grass to this is just incredible. what an experience. singing it was great to meet the locals benefiting from tourists who pass through and spend their time and money in these communities. next on myjourney, lake kivu. this is one of the african

great lakes, and sits on the border between rwanda and the democratic republic of the congo. i am here to explore the water by kayak. are you all right—handed? ok? on this side you go forward. seems easy enough. for years after the civil war, the shores of this lake were no—go zones. this was one of the epicentres of the fighting in 1995. now there's a huge push to develop this area. this is parts of the kivu belt tourism initiative. beep, beep! this is absolutely spectacular. kayaking doesn't get any better than this. it certainly beats the last experience i had, a lake in the uk. elwa is part of the new generation pursuing a career in travel and entrepreneurship.

this is such a great example of tourism and innovation in rwanda. so it's important then to show the world there is more to rwanda than just gorillas? yes. what about the beautiful tea estates, what about the coffee? what about kayaking? you can stay over on an island overnight and it's a beautiful experience. we have a monkey island that you can go see, it's something that is exciting, something that people love but they don't know. and how do the local people feel about it? are they excited to welcome tourists into the area? as rwandans, welcoming people is part of our culture. so they are excited to see you. we see the kids running around trying to grab your kayak. it's been an incredibly wild

and action—packed day and i am certainly off the hook for any more exercise for the rest of this year. while the history of the genocide will never be forgotten, these travel experiences really shows a different side of rwanda. everywhere you turn there is just something new on offer. this place really is amazing. the people here have been so eager to welcome me on my first ever trip to this country. tourism is providing an excellent opportunity for rwandans to reshape their country's image, and you can only hope the dark days are well and truly in the past.

hello again. saturday was another cold day, but it's the last of a run of cold days really. it is to be turning milder over the next few. there were some places across east anglia, cambridgeshire area where the fog lingered all day. temperatures didn't get above freezing. but where the sunshine came out, we had temperatures about 3—4 degrees, but either way, it was on the cold side for many of us. however, looking at the temperatures into sunday, it is going to be quite a bit milder, with our temperatures much closer to average for the time of year. now, right now, partly due to this change to milder weather, we've got this weather front just sinking southwards from scotland, bringing some rain here across into the far north of england, too. fog patches across east anglia, southern counties of england. and where the skies clear behind that weather front, again it's going to be cold with some frost. notjust frost, there's an ice risk as well, in particular for eastern scotland, maybe the far north east of england as well. so a cold start here.

fog further south—east, east anglia, southern counties of england. again could lingerfor a good part of the morning, but probably a better chance of clearing, really, as we head into the afternoon. some sunshine here. thickest cloud across north—western areas. some persistent rain for western scotland. damp weather at times for the north west of england and wales. the only real cold air is across the northern isles in shetland. two degrees in lerwick. there's likely to be some snow showers here and some accumulations of snow as well. now for monday, that milder air gets even milder as we start to get these south—westerly winds blowing a bit more strongly across the uk. they will, though, be bringing some more persistent outbreaks of rain. combined with snowmelt, well, there's a risk of some localised flooding across western scotland. but for the north of scotland, we've still got some cold air feeding in, so we may well still see some snow across the northern isles and perhaps across the hills of northern scotland as well. but otherwise it's mild, temperatures 7—9 degrees now, beyond that, as we head into tuesday, we get rid of these weather fronts. they move southwards, and we allow some cooler

northerly winds to flow in again. cold, frosty, but sunny to start the day for many of us. there will, though, be a few wintry showers coming down the north sea coasts, and always a bit more in the way of cloud further west. temperatures, well, coming down a little bit across northern areas. 4—6 degrees celsius, but still maybe 9—10 in the cloudier south—west of the uk. beyond that, well, we've got a spell of rain that's going to come through on wednesday, and then after that clears, a lot of dry weather, really, with temperatures for some staying a little above average. that's your latest weather. bye for now.
