Akagera National Park with Atih Safaris

Discover Rwanda’s Stunning Safari Gem — Akagera National Park

Akagera National Park, Rwanda’s premier savannah reserve, offers a classic African safari experience framed by rolling hills, lakes, and the scenic Nyungwe Forest. This vast park spans over 1,100 square kilometers in eastern Rwanda and is home to a diverse array of wildlife, making it a must-visit destination for any nature lover or wildlife enthusiast.

Wildlife and Scenery

Akagera boasts a rich ecosystem where you can spot a variety of species including:

• The Big Five: Lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinoceros (black rhino reintroduced recently)

• Graceful giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and various antelope species

• Over 500 bird species, including rare and endemic birds — a paradise for bird watchers

• Scenic lakes such as Lake Ihema, perfect for boat safaris and hippo spotting

The park’s varied landscapes—from wetlands and savannah to acacia woodlands and papyrus swamps—create a spectacular backdrop for game drives, bird watching, and boat excursions.
