GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT
Akagera National Park is Rwanda’s only Big Five safari destination and one of Africa’s most impressive conservation success stories. Located just 2.5–3 hours from Kigali, the park offers classic savannah landscapes, open plains, rolling hills, lakes, wetlands, and wildlife in its purest natural habitat. Visitors can expect lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, leopards, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and more than 500 bird species. Once threatened by poaching, Akagera has been restored through strong community partnerships, wildlife protection, and responsible tourism.
Local families benefit directly through employment, revenue sharing, and conservation programs—making this a national park where nature and people rise together. Your visit supports this successful transformation. Akagera is perfect for travelers looking for an accessible and rewarding safari. From Kigali, you can enjoy a full one-day Big Five game drive or extend your experience with multi-day safaris, boat tours on Lake Ihema, and sunrise or sunset wildlife viewing.
The park is safe, well managed, and ideal for families, solo travelers, wildlife photographers, and first-time safari guests.
