Akagera National Park

Discover the Wonders of Akagera National Park with Rivexcel Tours

At Rivexcel Tours, we invite you to explore the incredible beauty of Akagera National Park, Rwanda's premier wildlife destination. Nestled in the eastern part of Rwanda, along the border with Tanzania, Akagera is a diverse and vibrant ecosystem spanning 1,122 square kilometers. From its rolling savannahs and lush woodlands to tranquil wetlands, this park offers a unique safari experience that perfectly complements your Rwandan adventure.   Akagera has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. Thanks to dedicated conservation efforts by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and African Parks, it is now home to all of Africa's "Big Five": lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo. Our guests have the unique opportunity to witness the park’s thriving populations of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and antelopes, as well as its renowned predators, including lions and leopards. And let's not forget the amazing birdlife – with over 480 species, Akagera is one of the best bird-watching destinations in Africa!   Join us for an unforgettable adventure with guided game drives that take you through the park’s stunning landscapes. For a different perspective, enjoy a serene boat safari on Lake Ihema, where you can spot hippos, crocodiles, and a dazzling variety of bird species like the rare shoebill stork and African fish eagle. With options for day and night safaris, birding tours, and even behind-the-scenes conservation experiences, Akagera has something for every nature lover.   Staying overnight? Our packages include accommodations at the charming Akagera Game Lodge or the exclusive Ruzizi Tented Lodge, where you can relax with breathtaking views over Lake Ihema, savor delicious local and international cuisine, and unwind under the starry African sky.   Let Rivexcel Tours guide you through this extraordinary park, where every visit supports conservation and sustainable tourism. Akagera is not just a wildlife destination; it’s a living example of how communities and conservationists can work together to protect our planet's natural treasures. Join us for a safari that promises adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories!   Ready to explore?
