Immerse yourself in the ultimate wildlife experience with a Big 5 safari and camping under the stars in Akagera National Park. Witness breathtaking landscapes, enjoy outdoor adventures, and wake up to the sounds of roaring lions and singing birds in the heart of Rwanda’s wilderness.
Day 1: Scenic Drive, Game Drive & Highland Camping
Your adventure begins with a 9 AM pickup from Kigali. Enjoy the scenic drive through the Land of a Thousand Hills, with optional stopovers for photos or a cosy coffee break. Upon arrival at Akagera National Park jump straight into an afternoon game drive, searching for elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more.
As the sun sets, unwind at Mutumba Hills, the highest point of the park, offering spectacular views. Set up camp, enjoy a delicious dinner by the bushfire, and share stories under the starry sky while soaking in the serenity of the wild.
Day 2: Big 5 Safari & Return to Kigali
Wake up to the calls of nature and set out for an early morning game drive, catching wildlife as they gather by the lakes for a morning drink. Continue with a full-day safari, searching for the Big 5—lions, rhinos, elephants, leopards, and buffaloes—alongside antelopes, baboons, and over 500 bird species.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wild before exiting through the northern gate and heading back to Kigali, bringing home unforgettable memories of Rwanda’s most iconic wildlife destination.
