Find safaris hereAbout the park
Akagera National Park is Rwanda’s eastern savannah reserve, a mosaic of grassland, woodland, lakes and papyrus wetlands along the Tanzanian border.
Elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles and abundant birds can be found here.
Game drives, boat trips on Lake Ihema, birding and sunset or night drives where available.
Early starts give the best wildlife viewing. Combine a boat trip with game drives for a fuller picture of the park.
