About This Journey
Akagera National Park is Rwanda's Big Five sanctuary — a conservation success story where lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo have been restored to their natural habitat. Set along the Tanzanian border, the park's rolling hills, open plains, and chain of lakes create one of Africa's most photogenic and intimate safari settings.
This 4-day package combines morning and evening game drives with a boat safari on Lake Ihema — Rwanda's finest wildlife experience. With optional night drives and a peaceful, crowd-free atmosphere, this is the ideal safari to combine with gorilla trekking.
