Game Drive in Akagera National Park

A game drive in Akagera National Park is the highlight of any tourist visiting this wildlife place, giving you the chance to see wildlife in their natural habitat and experience Africa’s natural beauty. Akagera National Park is home to the BIG 5 animals and every game drive is different, which keeps things interesting, but the format of a game drive is more or less likely to follow the guidelines below: BOOK NOW

  • Most game drives will typically take place early in the mornings, late afternoons, or at night – the coolest times of day when most animals are most active.
  • Most game drives are likely to last between 3 to 4 hours, however, this will depend on the length and distance.
  • You should have plenty of opportunities to ask your guide questions about the animals you see, as well as lots of other related information about the habitat, plants, birds, animal tracking, and, if you’re lucky, an amazing animal story or two.
  • On morning drives are likely to have a hot drink, and on afternoon drives, the break is timed to allow you to enjoy the sunset with a refreshing sundowner.
  • While on a game drive inside Akagera National Park, you are most likely to see the Buffaloes, Zebras, Elands, Antelopes, Bushbucks, Warthogs, Elephants, lions, leopards, Rhinos among many animals.

 What kind of vehicles that our guests use on a game drive in Akagera?

We conduct game drives in 4WD Land Cruisers strictly with a pop-up roof that can be raised to provide an unobstructed view of the animal. This puts you at a good height for game viewing and provides some stability for photography.

If you’re interested in making an extension in Rwanda away from experiencing the game drive in Akagera, think of visiting Volcanoes National Park for an amazing Rwanda gorilla safari experience to meet face to face with the gentle giants or track the golden monkeys. You can as well book the ultimate journey to Nyungwe forest for a chance to track Chimpanzees in Rwanda, the most unspoiled forest in the country.
