4 Day Akagera Safari Tour – Rwanda’s Big 5 Escape

Experience Rwanda’s only Big Five destination on this exhilarating 4 Day Akagera Safari Tour. Set in the heart of Akagera National Park, this short yet thrilling journey offers the perfect combination of game drives, boat safaris, and classic savannah landscapes—all just a few hours’ drive from Kigali.

Your adventure begins with a scenic transfer from Kigali to Akagera National Park, a remarkable conservation success story. Once devastated by poaching and war, the park is now home to lions, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, and leopards—making it one of the few places in East Africa where you can spot all five on a single safari.

On day one, enjoy your first game drive as you arrive, taking in sights of giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and scenic rolling hills. Day two offers a full-day safari adventure, covering diverse ecosystems from wooded savannahs to open plains, with plenty of chances to photograph big cats and elephants in the wild.

Day three shifts gears with a tranquil boat safari on Lake Ihema, where hippos snort in the water and crocodiles bask in the sun. Birds soar overhead, and the surrounding papyrus sways gently in the breeze. Optional sunset game drives or lodge downtime wrap up the day with relaxation and golden light.

Your final day includes a last early morning game drive and return to Kigali. Depending on your schedule, you can stop by the Imigongo Art Center or enjoy some local shopping before heading home.

Whether you're planning a family escape, a romantic break, or a solo wildlife experience, this 4 Day Akagera Safari delivers authentic wildlife moments, expert-guided drives, and exceptional value.
