Akagera National Park

Unveil the untamed splendor of Akagera National Park, where vast, sun-warmed plains unfold across sweeping savannahs, dense woodlands, shimmering wetlands, and over a dozen glittering lakes. In proud and committed partnership with African Parks, Akagera is being boldly and purposefully transformed into one of Africa’s most extraordinary world-class safari destinations.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking magic of wide-open landscapes perfectly suited for truly unforgettable game drives — and witness the iconic Big Five returning in ever-growing numbers with each remarkable passing year.

Driven by unwavering and dedicated conservation efforts since 2010, poaching has been reduced to an all-time historic low, powerfully supported by vigilant aerial patrols, a highly trained canine unit, and a team of expert rhino trackers committed to protecting the park’s precious wildlife.

Feel the exhilarating thrill of watching South African lions roam freely across the wilderness and breed successfully in their restored habitat, while 18 magnificent eastern black rhinos have made a triumphant and deeply celebrated return to these revived and flourishing lands.

Exploring the park is exclusively done by vehicle — either through a trusted tour operator or at your own pace on a self-drive adventure. The park also offers vehicles available for hire, with individual spaces on thrilling night drives warmly open to all visitors.

Engaging the services of a knowledgeable and experienced local guide is strongly recommended and can be easily arranged directly through the park. For those wishing to stay closer to nature, overnight options include comfortable lodges, a remote bush camp in the north available during select periods, and designated camping sites nestled within the park’s stunning surroundings.
