Vast savannas; elephants and lions; focus on ‘classic African wilderness.
Akagera National Park is Rwanda’s only Big Five safari destination and one of Africa’s most impressive conservation success stories. Located just 2.5–3 hours from Kigali, the park offers classic savannah landscapes, open plains, rolling hills, lakes, wetlands, and wildlife in its purest natural habitat. Visitors can expect lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, leopards, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and more than 500 bird species. Once threatened by poaching, Akagera has been restored through strong community partnerships, wildlife protection, and responsible tourism.
