About Akagera

Akagera National Park offers a different side of Rwanda: wide open plains, lakefront scenery and a healthy mix of wildlife in a conservation landscape that continues to thrive.

It is an ideal complement to Rwanda's mountain experiences, giving travellers the chance to mix highland adventure with a classic savannah game-drive circuit.

Here, the pace is relaxed but the scenery remains memorable, with plenty of room for wildlife, photography and landscape variety.
