Itinerary
This early morning, we depart to Akagera national park just after breakfast or incase you are picked up from the airport. The journey to the park is takes about 2 hours 30 minutes depending on the stopovers along the way. On arrival at the park, your driver will clear with the rangers at the gate and proceed tot he visitor centre for briefing after which you proceed to the hotel for check in or a game drive depending on your interest. In the afternoon, you can choose to relax at your lodge. Alternatively you can choose to take a boat trip on Lake Ihema where you will watch out for Hippos, crocodiles and several animals coming to the park for watering.
This day will all depend on your interest in viewing Wildlife, the time we spend on the game drive in the park will entirely depend on you. Rising early and leave after breakfast for a game drive in Akagera national park. The game drive on this wildlife tour will be in our custom made safari land cruiser that will allow you to have amazing view of the wildlife as your driver guide takes you through different tracks. Look out for the big 5 like Elephants, Giraffes, Buffaloes, Topi, Zebras, Impala. In the recent past they re-introduced Lions and Rhinos in the park but these are often difficult to sight but it could be your lucky day. The park is a varied habitat for wildlife and a birders haven with over 500 species in the park. The game drive will last about 6 hours or more depending on your interests.
Wake up at your leisure, take breakfast and prepare for one last game drive in the park just in case you didn’t see any of the animals. Our Guide/Driver will meet with the park guide and take you to another section of the park for yet more wildlife encounters. After you are done with this game drive, it’s time to start the journey back to Kigali. Lunch is taken while on the way back to Kigali. In case you missed the Kigali city tour or the cow dung paintings at the Nyakarambi village for some reason on the first day, this is the time to do it. Please note that a safari in Rwanda and the Akagera national park in particular can be combined with chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe forest, hiking volcanoes, golden monkey trekking, biking along the Congo Nile Trail and gorilla trekking in the volcanoes national park.
