It is located in the northeast of Rwanda along the border with Tanzania. Although founded in 1934, much of the park was reallocated as farms and in 1997 the park was reduced in size from more than 2,500 sq km (nearly 10% of the surface area of Rwanda) to its current extent of 1,122 sq km. Since 2010, a joint venture with African Parks has seen Akagera return to its former glories of Big Five Wildlife Safari Park.

The National Park is named after the Akagera River that flows along its eastern boundary and feeds into a labyrinth of lakes of which the largest is Lake Ihema. The forest-fringed lakes, papyrus swamps, savannah plains, and rolling highlands combine to make Akagera among the most scenic reserves anywhere in Africa. It has exceptional levels of biodiversity and forms the largest protected wetland in central Africa.

Full board accommodation. English-speaking guide. 4-wheel drive. Rolling hills of Acacia bush with panoramic views across scattered grassland, patches of thick forest, and a mosaic of swamp-fringed lakes along the meandering Akagera watercourse contribute to this park’s almost unrivaled diversity and scenic beauty.
