Located in Rwanda’s eastern lowlands along the Tanzanian border, Akagera National Park is a remarkable conservation area known for its scenic blend of savannah, woodlands, wetlands, and lakes. Co-managed by African Parks, the park has undergone a successful transformation into a thriving habitat for wildlife and a top-tier safari experience.
During a guided game drive, you'll have the opportunity to spot Africa’s iconic “Big Five” — lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo — along with giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, antelope, monkeys, and an unbelievable diversity of birds.
In the evening, enjoy a relaxing, private sunset cruise on beautiful Lake Ihema before settling into the luxurious safari lodge for gourmet dining and stunning views.
Nestled along the tranquil shores of Lake Ihema, Ruzizi Tented Lodge offers stunning views and an intimate connection with nature. Thoughtfully designed to harmonize with its surroundings, the eco-friendly lodge runs on solar power and incorporates natural elements into its structure. Much of the décor and furniture was handcrafted by local artisans and cooperatives, adding a warm, authentic touch to this serene retreat.
Perched on a hilltop at the southern edge of the Park, Mantis Akagera Game Lodge is the park’s only luxury hotel, offering sweeping views of Lake Ihema and the surrounding savannah. With 60 elegant rooms and suites, a spacious pool and deck overlooking the lake, as well as a conference center, restaurant, and bar, the lodge provides a comfortable and stylish base for your stay in Akagera.
Perched like butterflies on the shores of Lake Rwanyakazinga, Magashi’s eight spacious tented suites welcome you to an intimate wilderness area, surrounded by one of the most serene landscapes imaginable - the ideal stage for exceptional safari adventures.
