Akagera National Park

Akagera National Park is Rwanda’s only savannah park and a remarkable conservation success story. Once depleted of wildlife, it now thrives with the Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and leopards—thanks to dedicated restoration efforts. The park’s rolling hills, open plains, wetlands, and lakes create a scenic backdrop for game drives, boat safaris, and birdwatching. Glide along Lake Ihema to spot hippos and crocodiles, or take a sunrise drive through the golden grasslands. Akagera is ideal for classic safari lovers looking to experience Rwanda’s wild side.
