DAY 1: Scenic Transfer from Kigali to Akagera National Park
Your unforgettable journey begins with a morning pickup from your residence. Step into your comfortable 4x4 safari car for a scenic drive towards Kayonza District in Rwanda’s Eastern Province. The relaxing 2.5-hour journey offers beautiful landscapes and opportunities for planned stopovers. Feel free to ask your guide questions, request photo stops, or enjoy a cosy coffee break along the way.
Upon arrival, check in smoothly at your premium safari accommodation and delight in a hot, delicious lunch tailored to your taste. Afterwards, unwind by the stunning infinity swimming pool, taking in panoramic views of Lake Ihema and the sweeping savannah. Spend a restful night surrounded by nature, recharging for the exciting adventures ahead.
DAY 2: Big Five Game Drive, Optional Boat Ride and Return to Kigali
Your second and final day starts early with a refreshing breakfast before heading into the wilderness. An early-morning game drive increases your chances of spotting elusive predators like leopards, which are often active during the cooler hours, alongside lions, rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, baboons, and many other wildlife species.
Spice up your safari with an optional one-hour boat ride on Lake Ihema! Glide across tranquil waters, observe hippos in their natural habitat, look out for crocodiles along the shores, and admire the colourful birdlife while enjoying Akagera from a different perspective.
Following a comprehensive game drive taking up to 6 hours depending on your schedule, you will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch surrounded by the beauty of the wilderness. Afterwards, you will exit the park through the northern gate, taking in your last breathtaking glimpses of Akagera before beginning the comfortable journey back to Kigali.
Return home with unforgettable memories of Rwanda’s remarkable wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and one of Africa’s most special safari destinations.
