The Ultimate Safari Experience — Spot the Big Five

Game drives are the most popular activity in Akagera National Park, offering visitors the chance to explore the savannah landscape in a 4x4 safari vehicle guided by experienced rangers. Guests can spot a wide range of wildlife including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and antelopes across different regions of the park. The park's network of well-maintained tracks takes you through diverse habitats — from open savannah plains to wooded hillsides and lakeshores. Morning drives offer the best chance of seeing predators on the move, while afternoon drives reward you with golden light and animals gathering at water sources. With expert guides who know the park intimately, every game drive is a unique adventure.
