Akagera National Park, located in eastern Rwanda along the Tanzanian border, is a breathtaking mosaic of savannah, woodland, wetland, and lakes. Named after the Akagera River that flows along its eastern boundary, the park is Rwanda's only savannah reserve and home to the Big Five.
Following one of Africa's greatest conservation success stories, the park has seen the reintroduction of lions (2015) and rhinos (2017), completing the Big Five and making Akagera the most accessible Big Five destination in East Africa.
