2 Days 1 Night Akagera National Park Safari takes you to Akagera National Park – the perfect place for travelers who want to get off the beaten path in Rwanda. The Akagera national park is 3 hours by road from Kigali the capital meaning you can depart at the latest midday and do an evening game drive and also have a boat ride on Lake Ihema.

Akagera National Park is located in eastern Rwanda, it shares the rolling, grassy hills of neighboring Tanzania (as opposed to the forested volcanoes of the northern national parks), and consequently boasts a range of large wildlife unmatched in other Rwandan parks.

Over the course of your 2 days 1-night visit, you’re likely to see the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, black rhino, and buffalo. Others include hippos, baboons, giraffes, antelope, zebras, and warthogs. The park has an amazing variety of wildlife and is entirely worth the visit.

After lunch, we can have a late afternoon boat trip to Nyirabiyoro historical Island for Birding and marine wildlife. We can also have a bird watching from here and we can at least have a checklist of open beak stork, cormorant, fish eagle, and pelicans among others.

Other wildlife we can see is Hippopotamus and Crocodile. Nyirabiyoro is an Island of Lake Ihema which is the biggest lake in Akagera National Park.
