Day 1: Kigali to Akagera National Park – Full Day Game Drive Experience
Your luxury adventure begins early in the morning as you depart Kigali in a comfortable 4×4 safari vehicle, accompanied by your professional guide. Enjoy scenic countryside views as you drive eastward to Akagera National Park, a journey of approximately two and a half hours. Upon arrival at the park’s southern gate, you will complete the necessary formalities before embarking on an exciting game drive through rolling hills, open savannah, and lush wetlands.
Throughout the morning, explore the park’s diverse ecosystems in search of elephants grazing by the lakeside, giraffes wandering across the plains, and antelopes grazing gracefully under acacia trees. A delicious picnic-style lunch will be served at a scenic spot within the park, offering panoramic views of Lake Ihema. In the afternoon, continue your drive toward the northern plains where predators like lions and hyenas roam freely. The experience is elevated by the use of luxury vehicles with pop-up roofs and refreshments onboard.
Before sunset, begin your journey back to Kigali, with an optional stop at a local craft market or scenic viewpoint to capture the day’s memories. Arrive in the city in the evening, marking the end of a truly exclusive and personalised safari experience.
