The park · Akagera National Park
Akagera is like no other Rwandan park: low plains, a dozen lakes and papyrus swamps along the Tanzanian border. Lions were reintroduced in 2015 and black rhinos in 2017, so all five of the big mammals can be seen here again.
- Lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopards
- Boat safari on Lake Ihema
- Giraffes and zebras on the savannah
- Close to 500 bird species
- Doable as a day trip from Kigali
Permits go early: book about 3 months ahead.
