Day Itinerary

Have an early morning breakfast at your hotel in Kigali by 5:00 am. Your safari driver guide, will be waiting at the hotel lobby to meet you, share a short briefing, before he leads you to your customized 4 x 4 extended safari land cruiser, with a pop up roof for game viewing, and shortly you hit the road to find your way to Akagera National Park, which is located 2.3 hours away East of Kigali, bordering Tanzania. You will stopover en route at Migano café, to grab a coffee as well as use the wash rooms, as you proceed to the park, reach and continue to the park reception for registration, logistics, and later game briefing followed by jumping into your safari jeep, start off your animal count. Keep your eyes on lookout for both small and big ones, as they room around. A wildlife sighting is always unpredictable and that’s what makes a game drive so exciting. Look out for tracks. Listening for alarm calls and being on the alert for nearby predators. There’s so much to see, and being the first to spot something brings a whole new level of satisfaction to your day. We keep our eyes to spot rare encounters such as elephants, buffaloes, zebras, Topis, elands, rhinos, giraffes, and a number of bird species. Lions, hyenas, leopards, and other cats are also often spotted in the park. At the right time during the mid-day, picnic lunch will be served before we proceed further north, where there is a high congregation of wildlife with better encounters. We shall later exit the park, and drive back to Kigali filled with a great wildlife experience and be dropped off at your booked hotel in Kigali or at the airport in case you have an evening flight. (Flight must be from 8pm).End of service!
