Northern Sector — Big Five Zone
Where the Big Five Roam — Premium Safari Territory
The Northern Sector of Akagera National Park is known for its higher concentration of wildlife, including lions, rhinos, and other members of the Big Five. This area offers premium safari experiences and is ideal for travelers seeking exclusive and immersive wildlife encounters. This remote and less-visited part of the park is where Akagera's most prized residents are found. The reintroduced lions have established territories here, and the critically endangered black rhinos are carefully monitored in this zone. With fewer vehicles and vast wilderness, the northern sector provides an exclusive safari atmosphere that rivals the finest parks in Africa.
