Tour Plan

Day 1 Arrival and Introduction to Akagera & Evening boat ride on Lake Ihema.

After breakfast, embark on a breathtakingly scenic and educative drive to Akagera National Park. This is the best opportunity to learn more about Rwanda’s ways of living, farming, cattle keeping, socio-economic life of Rwandans. Upon arrival at the park, check-in at the park reception, then head to your chosen hotel to relax and take an energizing lunch before your afternoon and evening boat ride. Take some time to settle, acclimatize with the park’s environment, and enjoy the surroundings.
After a restful afternoon, your driver guide will take you to Lake Ihema, where you will meet the boat captain to guide you through the lake as you will learn to spot hippos, crocodiles, water birds, and many more animals that you may see while drinking water. After this exhilarating experience, your guide will take you back to your designated accommodation for a restful night.

Day 02 Full Day of Exploration of the park

Start early with another game drive to maximize your wildlife sightings. Your experienced guide will take you to prime viewing areas where you can search for elusive predators and other wildlife. You will take different loops, both on the lakeshore road and mountain road to see and marvel at the rich wildlife that Akagera has to offer. This allows you to maximize your chances of spotting animals that you would hardly see if you chose a single road. Check-in at Karenge bush camp for a relaxing bush night.

Day 03 Morning game drive and Departure

Begin your last day with a final game drive in the northern plains of Akagera National Park, focusing on areas of the park you haven’t explored yet. Keep your camera ready for any last-minute wildlife sightings and memorable moments. Drive back to Kigali with undying memories of this beautiful park which gave you a true feeling of African bush.

Remember to pack essentials such as sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, a camera, and comfortable clothing suitable for both game drives and boat safaris. Additionally, it’s advisable to book accommodations and activities in advance to ensure availability and a seamless experience during your trip.
