Akagera National Park can be visited throughout the year. The Dry season (June to September) is the prime time for viewing wildlife in the park. Mid-December to mid-February, a dry spell in the Wet season, is also a good time. Animals are easier to spot because the bush thins out and wildlife concentrates around the lakes.
