Transfer to Akagera National Park and a Boat Trip on Arrival

You will be picked up after a relaxed breakfast at your hotel at 7:00am and transferred to Akagera National Park by our safari guide. The journey to Akagera National Park takes about 2.5 hours, depending on the number of stopovers along the way. The route is beautiful as the road winds through the landscapes en route to the park, so please feel free to ask the guide for stopovers to take photos.

Upon arrival at the park, we will proceed to our accommodation with a short game drive en route. We will check in and later head for a boat trip on Lake Ihema to watch hippos and crocodiles in the water or on the shores. You will probably see buffaloes and elephants wallowing by the water banks. Finally, we will return to the lodge for dinner and our overnight stay.

Full-Day Game Drive in Akagera National Park and Return to Kigali

After an early morning breakfast at 7:00am, we will depart on a morning game drive in Akagera National Park to catch up with late hunters and early risers. We will search for big mammals like elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, several antelope species, and the recently re-introduced lions and rhinos. The park has a varied habitat for wildlife and is home to many bird species—over 500 bird species in the park make it a birding paradise!

You will leave the lodge with a packed lunch to enjoy during the game drive. The game drive will last about 6 hours, depending on your interests and the sights. Then, finally, we will start the journey back to Kigali.
