Amazing. Just amazing. We saw 4/5 big five. Just missed the leopard but we knew it was hard to spot them. Really amazing guide and driver, Christophe and Emanuele and the boat ride was also stunning. Just do yourself a favor and get a guide. Help the local economy and get a better experience.

Incredible conservation work being done at akagera. We saw plenty of animals during our 7 hour visit. Recommend visiting with an extremely experienced guide, as roads can be challenging to navigate, particularly during rainy season.

It is a beautiful park. They are doing a great job of maintaining a natural area for these animals. It is a large area, but a single day is enough even if you are coming from Kigali . I do recommend having a driver so you can just look around and enjoy. It is currently $100 USD. for foreigners, no cash, only electronic transfers. You can also book with a safari company.

This was a beautiful wildlife experience. We got to see 3 out of the big 5. The trail was exciting and full of unique wildlife. Our guide from SilverBird Tours in Kigali was an expert and quite the comedian. Very insightful about the wildlife and trail. Took us to all the spots and was patient for us to soak in the experience. Would definitely do this again as a big group.

Witnessing the thriving ecosystem with its varied species, including elephants, hippos, and numerous bird species, was awe-inspiring. The efforts in conservation and the park's commitment to preserving Rwanda's natural beauty make Akagera a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts.
