1-Day Akagera National Park Safari Trip

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Early in the morning after having your breakfast, you will be picked up by your safari driver-guide around 6:00 am from your hotel/ residence in Kigali and head for a 1-day trip in Akagera National Park. It is about a 2h 30-minute drive away from Kigali. Akagera National Park is a major savannah park with elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, waterbucks, topis, and lions.
Rhinoceroses were reintroduced recently. You will take a game drive in search of these wildlife and numerous bird species. The game drive can last about 5 hours depending on the animals' sightseeing and interest. We recommend carrying the picnic lunch with you when you do the game drive. After enjoying your game drive, then our driver-guide will drive you back to Kigali.
