The 15 Best Akagera National Park Safaris

28 reviewed

Rwanda’s only savanna park sits three hours east of Kigali and it can be done properly in a single day. These 15 Akagera safaris are compared on what matters: how early the pickup is, whether the vehicle has a pop-top or a proper open side, whether lunch and the Lake Ihema boat are included, and how much you pay for a private 4x4 instead of a shared seat.

“Ben now a/k/a “Ben Miami Beach” is an awesome guide. He is vibrant and educated about Rwanda’s history, it’s people, the different animal species inside the park and their behaviors, not to mention Ben’s tenacious desire to please his clients. We told Ben we wanted to see the lions and Ben kept trying to find the lions in the park….until we found the lions. I highly recommend this Safari AND please ask for Ben Miami Beach. We are absolutely satisfied!!!”
