Full Day Akagera National Park Game Drive and Boat Safari

Akagera National Park is Rwanda’s hidden safari gem—a place where the Big Five roam freely across vast savannah plains.

Just a 2.5-hour drive from Kigali, this 1,122 sq km park offers an authentic African wilderness experience without the crowds of better-known reserves.

Picture yourself scanning the horizon for elephants, watching giraffes stride across golden grasslands, and feeling the thrill of spotting a lion pride resting in the shade.

The park’s dramatic landscapes—from open plains to papyrus-fringed lakes—create the perfect backdrop for wildlife photography.

This full-day package combines the two best safari experiences Akagera has to offer.

Start with a morning game drive through the park’s diverse habitats, where you’ll search for lions, rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, and leopards—Africa’s iconic Big Five.

Then, transition to a peaceful boat safari on Lake Ihema, where hippos surface, crocodiles bask on the banks, and over 520 bird species fill the skies.

Our private 4×4 safari vehicle features a pop-up roof for optimal viewing, plus WiFi and charging ports to keep you connected.

Led by expert guides—many former park rangers—you’ll benefit from their intimate knowledge of wildlife behavior and the park’s hidden spots.

With round-trip transfers from Kigali, a delicious lunch, and all park fees included, this seamless safari delivers maximum wildlife encounters in minimum time.
