Explore the Wilderness of Akagera National Park
Akagera National Park, located in eastern Rwanda, is a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts. This park is renowned for its diverse landscapes, ranging from savannah plains to lush wetlands, and is home to an incredible array of wildlife.
The relatively warm and low-lying plains of Akagera comprise savannah, woodland, wetland and a dozen lakes. In partnership with African Parks, we aim to transform the National Park into a world-class location to experience a safari.
The largely open expanse is ideal for game viewing, and we are taking steps to ensure the Big Five roam the park in greater numbers over the course of time.
Since 2010 we have cut poaching to an all-time low, with the introduction of a helicopter, a canine unit, and rhino trackers.
A family of lions from South Africa is settling in well, and breeding successfully, and 18 eastern black and white rhinos have also been reintroduced.
Visitors can also encounter buffalo, elephant, antelope, zebra, giraffe, baboons, monkeys, an incredibly large number of bird species, plus much more.
