Akagera national park Rwanda big 5 safari

Home to the Big Five

Founded in 1934, Akagera National Park is central Africa’s largest protected wetland and the last remaining refuge for savannah adapted species in Rwanda and home to the famous Big 5 game (lions, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos and elephants). It is named after the Akagera river that flows along its eastern boundary and feeds into a labyrinth of lakes of which the largest is lake Ihema.

A boat trip on lakes Ihema and Rwanyakizinga is also a highlight of any visit to Akagera with its large pods of hippos, Nile crocodiles and abundant birdlife.

Akagera national park Rwanda big 5 safari on Day and night game drives

Akagera offers game drives in the morning (half day), afternoon and at night. Guided night drives that commence at sunset are a fantastic way to cap off your day in the park and offer the best chance of seeing nocturnal wildlife from lions to leopards which are among the most sought-after sightings!

Boat safari on lake Ihema and Rwanyakizinga

Travelers seeking a variation on the typical safari consider a boat trip on lakes Ihema and Rwanyakizinga, where you can drift along the lakes in the midst of thriving wildlife. For serious birders, this experience is a must. Scheduled trips can be arranged four times a day from 7:30am, 9:00am, 3:00pm and 4:00pm.

Hot Air Balloon tours

A flight in the Akagera hot air balloon is one of the best ways to discover and explore the area of the park. With scenic views of lake Ihema, hills and peninsulas and wild animals, Akagera’s hot air balloon is one not to miss.

Note: Flights on the hot air balloon are subject to availability and favorable weather conditions in the Park.

Magashi camp by wilderness

Witness the abundance of Akagera National Park from wilderness Magashi. Home once more to an abundance of apex predators and their prey. Marvel at lions, white and black rhinos, buffaloes and elephants roaming its hills and vast savannah.

This is the quintessential East African safari adventure and the perfect complement to your gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda.

What to wear

Daytime temperatures are generally warm, carry light clothing and consider sun protection, including a hat and sunglasses. The evenings tend to be cool and a light sweater or jacket will suffice.
