Immerse yourself in Rwanda's wilderness with our 3-day Akagera National Park safari. This extended adventure allows you to fully experience East Africa's largest protected wetland and the diverse ecosystems of Akagera, from sprawling savannah to lakes and marshlands.
Akagera National Park covers over 1,120 square kilometers and is Rwanda's only Big Five park. The park has undergone remarkable transformation through conservation efforts, successfully reintroducing lions in 2015 and rhinos in 2017, restoring it to its former glory as a premier African safari destination.
During your three days, you'll enjoy game drives through diverse landscapes, a scenic boat trip on Lake Ihema, and even a night game drive to observe nocturnal species. Overnight stays at comfortable lodges or camps within or near the park complete this authentic safari experience.
