Sunset boat trip on lake Ihema

Pick up and embark on a journey to Akagera national park about 110 km (3-hour drive) east of Kigali capital city. You will stop along the way at Imigongo Art café for refreshments. Proceed via the southern entrance gate to the lodge overlooking the swamp fringed Lake Ihema, the park’s largest lake. The hippos tend to graze around the tents and the sounds of nature provide a perfect setting for wild nights.

Full day game drive with packed lunch

The game drive experience in Akagera involves a lot of driving from south to the northern open plains of Kilala. There it is less bushy and you may spot more wildlife and also get out of the car and have picnic in the wild. Seeing all the Big 5 can be challenging due to low numbers, however the zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, and antelope species like Impala, Topi are abundant. The bird life in park is also another highlight of your safari. We have this full day dedicated to game viewing and we will sleep in the north park. Dinner and overnight in the park.
