Itinerary and highlights
Escape Kigali for a 2-day immersion into one of Africa's great conservation success stories. Depart Kigali in the morning with a coffee and snack stop en route, then visit the Akagera Community Center to see firsthand how local farming and conservation projects are helping protect the park. After check-in and lunch at the park reception, set off on an afternoon game drive from the southern to northern sectors, tracking the Big Five — elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalo, and leopard — alongside giraffes, zebras, antelope, and prolific birdlife. Spend the night at Karenge Bush Camp with dinner included. Rise early on day two for a nocturnal wildlife drive in search of night-active species, then return for breakfast before checkout and drop-off in Kigali or at your hotel.
