Early pick up from Kigali and transfer to Akagera national park -Boat cruise

After breakfast you meet our driver guide for a trip to Akagera National Park. This National Park is located along the eastern border of Rwanda, where the typically hilly countryside gives way to the savannas of the Great Rift Valley. Dominated by lakes, swamps and marshland, the area boasts a huge compliment of nature and wildlife that cannot be found elsewhere in the country. The drive will take you around 3 hours arriving with en-route game drive for lunch at the Camp. Have lunch as you enjoy some relaxation time and the breathtaking views of the savannah just near the poolside. After lunch depart for the afternoon boat cruise at 3PM on Lake Ihema which is very rewarding for seeing many hippos, the huge Nile crocodiles and many birds. This is the most interesting part of the park, especially for birders. Later dinner and overnight at the Lodge. Stay for your first night at Akagera Game lodge.
