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.
