Panoramic Views Over Akagera's Wilderness

Mutumba Hills offers panoramic views of the park's lakes and savannah ecosystem. It is a peaceful destination ideal for sightseeing, photography, and enjoying the natural beauty of Akagera from elevated viewpoints. Rising above the surrounding savannah, the Mutumba Hills provide some of the most breathtaking vistas in all of Akagera. From the ridgeline, visitors can see across the entire park — from the shimmering lakes in the east to the rolling grasslands below. It's a favorite stop for photographers capturing the scale and beauty of Rwanda's largest national park, especially during sunrise and sunset when the light paints the landscape in gold and amber.
