A 1 Day Akagera National Park Game Drive to Akagera National Park takes you on an exciting adventure to explore Rwanda’s only savanna park, located in the eastern part of the country along the border with Tanzania. This park offers the unique opportunity for a safari game drive, the only one of its kind in Rwanda. Akagera National Park is home to the Big Five, with the recent reintroduction of lions. It hosts a diverse range of mammal species, including elephants, giraffes, hippos, kobs, zebras, bushbucks, and waterbucks. Additionally, black rhinos were recently introduced from South Africa, restoring Akagera’s status as a Big Five park, just as it was many years ago
