3-Day Akagera National Park- Game Safari Tour

This tour is the definitive “savannah experience” in Rwanda. The 3-Day Akagera National Park Game Safari Tour focuses on a comprehensive exploration of Rwanda’s only Big Five destination, featuring extended game drives from the southern wetlands to the northern plains and a scenic boat cruise on Lake Ihema.

Yes! Thanks to successful reintroduction programs by African Parks and the Rwanda Development Board, Akagera is once again home to the “Big Five”: Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Buffalo, and Rhinos (both Black and White). Your 3-Day Akagera National Park Game Safari Tour is specifically designed to maximize your chances of spotting these iconic animals.

Lake Ihema is Rwanda’s second-largest lake. During the boat cruise on your 3-Day Akagera National Park Game Safari Tour, you will see massive pods of hippos and some of Africa’s largest Nile crocodiles. It is also an unparalleled platform for birdwatching, offering views of the African fish eagle, kingfishers, and the rare shoebill stork.

Mountain Mutumba is the highest point in Akagera National Park. During your 3-Day Akagera National Park Game Safari Tour, stopping here for a picnic lunch provides a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of the park’s diverse landscapes, including the chain of lakes and the distant hills of Tanzania.

The park is ecologically diverse. The southern sector, where your 3-Day Akagera National Park Game Safari Tour begins, is dominated by lakes and marshes (ideal for hippos and waterbirds). The northern sector features wide-open savannah plains, which are the best areas for spotting lions, giraffes, zebras, and large herds of buffalo.

Akagera is an ornithological paradise with nearly 500 recorded bird species. On the 3-Day Akagera National Park Game Safari Tour, you might see the endangered Papyrus Gonolek, the Grey-crowned Crane, and a vast array of raptors and waterfowl, making it a must for any birding enthusiast
