Itinerary and highlights
Akagera National Park is a haven of biodiversity and a testament to successful conservation. Known for hosting the iconic Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, and leopards—this journey takes you from the southern entrance to the northern exit of the park. You’ll traverse open savannahs, lush wetlands, and scenic landscapes, encountering graceful giraffes, zebras, antelopes, as well as hippos and crocodiles along the shores of Lake Ihema.
Akagera is a paradise with over 500 bird species, including the striking shoebill stork and the regal African fish eagle. Immerse yourself in the wild, soak in the tranquility of the natural surroundings, and discover the inspiring story of Akagera’s revival—a transformation from near collapse to a thriving conservation success.
Whether you’re drawn to close wildlife encounters, stunning scenery, or the chance to learn about groundbreaking conservation efforts, this safari offers an extraordinary experience filled with lasting memories.
