The 2-Day Akagera Wildlife Safari is a compact overnight trip into Rwanda’s only Big Five savannah park, combining two prime game-drive windows with a Lake Ihema boat cruise and a full day inside the park. It’s the ideal short safari for travellers who want more than a day trip but are short on time.
You’ll travel in a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver-guide, staying one night full-board at a comfortable camp or lodge. The overnight stay lets you enjoy Akagera’s best game-viewing hours — the golden light of late afternoon and early morning — when wildlife is most active.
Akagera has been beautifully restored and now offers lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and reintroduced rhinos across savannah, wetlands, and lakes. Two game drives maximise your Big Five chances, and the Lake Ihema boat cruise brings you close to hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife. The sunset scenery over the lakes is stunning. See our Rwanda safari guide for more.
As a specialist Africa tour operator, we handle every detail — private vehicle, expert guide, park fees, the boat cruise, full-board lodging, and Kigali transfers — so you can focus on the wildlife. Akagera combines perfectly with a gorilla trek for a Big-Five-and-primates trip. Contact us to book.
Depart Kigali and drive to Akagera National Park, with an afternoon game drive into the golden hour, then sunset and overnight at your camp or lodge.
Early morning game drive, breakfast, then a Lake Ihema boat safari. After lunch, a final wildlife drive before returning to Kigali.
