Game drive in Akagera national park

Depending on your interest in animal viewing, you will decide how much time to spend on a game drive in the park. Arise early and leave after breakfast for a game drive in Akagera national park. The game drive on this wildlife tour will be in our custom made safari land cruiser that will allow you to have amazing view of the wildlife as your driver guide takes you through different tracks.

Look out for some of the big mammals like Elephants, Giraffes, Buffaloes, Topi, Zebras, Impala. In the recent past they re-introduced Lions and Rhinos in the park but these are often difficult to sight but it could be your lucky day. The park is a varied habitat for wildlife and a birders haven with over 500 species in the park. The game drive will last about 6 hours or more depending on your interest.
