About this experience
What sets our 2-Day Big 5 Safari to Akagera National Park apart is a unique blend of immersive wildlife, profound cultural insight, and unparalleled scenic beauty, all in a concise Rwandan adventure.
Unlike typical safaris, your journey begins with a respectful visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, offering vital understanding of Rwanda's resilient spirit before delving into its wild heart.
In Akagera, experience an exclusive night game drive – a rare chance to spot nocturnal predators like lions and leopards under the stars. Complementing this is a serene sunrise boat trip on Lake Ihema, providing breathtaking close-ups of hippos, crocodiles, and diverse water birds from a unique perspective.
You'll traverse one of East Africa's most scenic savannahs, where rolling hills meet swamps, providing stunning backdrops for spotting the African Big 5 and a plethora of other magnificent wildlife. Akagera is also a birdwatcher's paradise. Book now for a splendid time!
