2-Days Akagera National Park Tour
Akagera National Park located along the eastern border of Rwanda still offers a much rewarding safari with all the Africa safari’ Big 5′ animals present. This wonderful savanna of the Great Rift Valley is a unique habitat and home to big game, primates, birds, fish and many aquatic animal and plant species. It is dominated by lakes, swamps and marshland and boasts of a huge complement of nature and wildlife that cannot be found elsewhere in the country.
Day 1:
Pick-up from hotel in Kigali, Rwanda and transfer to Akagera National Park.
Short southern Lake Circuit Game drive
You will be received at your hotel by our guide and get a briefing of your trip. Drive to Akagera National Park passing through Rwanda’s phenomenal landscapes and living lifestyles. Check in and after a quick rest at the hotel, continue on with a southern game drive alongside the Lake Ihema circuit.
There is plenty of wildlife to view like zebra, giraffe, baboon, warthog, and half-a-dozen antelope species, all reasonably visible and less skittish than one might expect. Known as one of the most scenic savannahs in East Africa, the game drive in Akagera National Park provides you with the opportunity to view the gracious impala, the big herds of topi and the Defassa waterbuck that regularly graze around the lake.
You will sight the highest concentrations of hippos and large crocodiles on the continent which the lake supports and also view gentle hills blending beautifully with lowland swamps and water bodies. On this day (depending on time available), we offer you a choice of value-added activities including boat ride, bird watching and interaction with local pastoralists
Day 2: Northern Circuit Game drive and transfer to Kigali
Early morning game drive starts with a spectacular sunrise and early morning bird songs. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and landscape through the northern circuit where you will see hippos, crocodiles and even more wildlife than on the lake circuit.
Transfer to Kigali.
