Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Pick up Kigali and Transfer to Akagera National Park

You will be picked up by your driver |guide from your hotel in Kigali and depart for Akagera National Park located along the eastern border of Rwanda, where the typically hilly countryside gives way to the savannas of the Great Rift Valley. Dominated by lakes, swamps and marshland, the area boasts a huge complement of nature and wildlife that cannot be found elsewhere in the country. We will arrive before lunch at the beautiful Akagera Game Lodge. Have lunch then start your exploration with a game drive by visiting the giraffe valley. Akagera NP allows you not only to visit this beautiful Park but also to enjoy the camp and its astonishing views over Lake Ihema.

Day 2: Morning Boat Ride, Afternoon Game drive and transfer back to Kigali

After an early breakfast, your exploration starts with a boat trip on Lake Ihema which is very rewarding for seeing a large number of hippos, the huge Nile crocodiles and many birds. They are the most interesting part of the park, especially for birders.

You will break for your picnic lunch then in the late afternoon you will return to the giraffe valley which is usually full of surprises for an afternoon game drive then continue to Kigali arriving late in the evening for a drop off at the Kigali International Airport or at your hotel in Kigali
