A note on the photographs

Wherever possible we have used photographs taken in Akagera National Park or elsewhere in Rwanda. For a small number of species that are present in Akagera but poorly represented in the free-licence archive — leopard and impala among them — we have used images of the same species photographed elsewhere in Africa. Captions and alt text describe what is shown rather than implying a location.
