The journey

Made for the way you want to travel.

Akagera was nearly empty in the 1990s but has been spectacularly restored by African Parks since 2010. Lions were reintroduced in 2015, black rhinos in 2017. Now it's a complete Big Five park, and the easiest add-on after a Kigali visit.

⭐ Highlights

  • Big Five in 2 days
  • Night game drive (optional)
  • Boat safari on Lake Ihema
  • Restoration success story
  • Easy Kigali add-on
