Colony of baboons live the good life
in war-torn Rwandan safari lodge
AKAGERA, Rwanda (AP) —
Visitors once called Hotel Ak-
agera “a little corner of par
adise.” These days they break
into your car, hurl champagne
bottles to the floor and defecate
atop dining tables.
A colony of Olive baboons
has taken over this stunning,
hilltop safari lodge within one
of Africa’s great wildlife parks,
taking full advantage of Rwan
da’s bloody chaos and resultant
tourist exodus.
Dozens of the baboons, often
aggressive and growing up to 3
feet tall, are living in some of the
60 rooms and suites, and most
spend part of the day lolling
around the now-slimy swimming
pool and poolside bar.
This week, as one baboon
slid along the diving board on
his rump, flies buzzed around
the bloated body of another
floating face down in the
murky water.
Only months ago, well-
heeled guests from Europe and
North America sipped martinis
and Camparis here while ad
miring spectacular views of
Lake Ihema and the broad sa
vannah below.
Before the marauders and
massacres and machetes, when
Rwanda was still called “the
Switzerland of Africa” and “The
Land of 1,000 Hills,” this 1,000-
square-mile reserve was one of
the country’s top draws. For
eign tourists came to encounter
a splendid array of wildlife, in
cluding the world’s last moun
tain gorillas living among vol
canic peaks and tribes of
Colobus monkeys in the
Nyungwe rain forest.
Now the Hotel Akagera is a
surreal, tragic symbol of what
Rwanda was and the abyss
into which it has plunged
since April when Hutus went
on an orgy of killing. Half a
million or more people, mainly
Tutsis, their tribal rivals, died
in the slaughter.
A few decomposed corpses
still sprawl along the road
leading to the southern en
trance of Akagera National
Park, 75 miles east of Kigali,
the capital. The village there,
Nyagakonji, is deserted, its in
habitants dead or refugees in
nearby Tanzania. Rumors
abound that carnivorous ani
mals, including the baboons,
are gorging on the corpses.
