Book Now: 3-Day Rwanda Wildlife Safari – Akagera National Park
This 3-day safari offers a perfect escape into the heart of Akagera National Park, Rwanda’s only savannah park and home to the iconic Big Five. Covering scenic rolling hills, acacia woodlands, sweeping grasslands, and a network of swamps and lakes fed by the Akagera River (one of the Nile’s most remote sources), the park provides a spectacular setting for classic African game drives.
With over 500 bird species and rich wildlife diversity, Akagera National Park is a haven for safari enthusiasts. Expect to see herds of elephants, buffalo, zebras, and antelopes, as well as hippos and crocodiles, along the lakeshores. Predators such as lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, and even the elusive serval cat also roam these plains.
This short safari is ideal for travelers with limited time who still want a complete savannah safari experience while in Rwanda.
