The park’s varied landscapes—golden grasslands, shimmering lakes, and forested hills—make every safari an unforgettable adventure.
Morning and evening drives offer different experiences, from predators on the move to gentle herds grazing under the African sun. An optional boat cruise on Lake Ihema reveals hippos, crocodiles, and dazzling aquatic birdlife, adding a serene water element to your safari journey.
Easily accessible from Kigali, Akagera combines thrilling wildlife encounters with stunning scenery. Perfect for families, photographers, and wildlife lovers seeking an authentic Rwandan safari without the crowds.
