Overview – Akagera National Park

Akagera covers eastern Rwanda with savannah, wetlands, woodlands and lakes. Here is why visitors go: it blends Big Five game drives and boat safaris on Lake Ihema, with swamp and wetland scenery. Let’s break it down. Wildlife has been reintroduced (lions, rhinos), and there are multiple lakes and papyrus swamps. Next steps: bring binoculars; plan for heat in dry season.
