Luxury Safaris in Akagera Park

Stretching 1,122 square kilometers along Rwanda’s eastern border with Tanzania, Akagera National Park is Central Africa’s largest protected wetland and Rwanda’s only Big Five safari destination. Named after the Akagera River, which winds through a network of lakes and papyrus swamps, this park blends into savannah, woodlands, and wetlands, offering one of the most diverse ecosystems in the region.

Akagera is home to elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and over 500 bird species, including the rare and iconic shoebill stork and the red-faced barbet, a near-endemic species. Due to successful conservation efforts, black rhinos and lions were able to be reintroduced, restoring the park’s natural balance and making it a thriving sanctuary for wildlife.

Akagera became a model for community-driven conservation apart of its wildlife, integrating eco-tourism initiatives that benefit local communities at the same times ensuring long-term protection of its landscapes and wildlife. Visitors can enjoy:

Game drives across vast savannahs to spot the Big Five.

Boat safaris on Lake Ihema, where hippos and crocodiles thrive.

Birdwatching, with chances to see rare and endemic species.

Cultural and conservation experiences highlighting Akagera’s unique community engagement.

With its scenic beauty, rich biodiversity, and conservation success story, Akagera National Park is a must-visit for nature lovers as well as safari enthusiasts.
