Akagera National Park Rwanda

Akagera wildlife Park is at relatively low altitude on the Tanzania boarder, 3hours fro Kigali, Rwanda's Capital. The Park is scenically dominated by the labyrinth of swamps and lakes that follow the meandering course of Akagera River. Akagera National Park is an archetypal African savannah landscape of tangled acacia woodland interspersed with open grassland.

This is a big game country, where herds of elephant and buffalo emerge from the woodland to drink at the lakes, while lucky visitors might stumble across a spotted hyena or even a stray lion. Among other animals include giraffe, antelopes such as chestnut-coated impala, Oribi, Bushbucks, Tsessebe and  the statuesque cape eland as well as zebras, usually seen ambling through the savannah.

Game viewing id the major tour activity in the park, bird watching with a boat ride on lake ihema to see huge crocodiles, Hippos and over 450 bird species. The connecting marshes are the haunt of the endangered and exquisite papyrus gonolek, and the bizarre shoebill stork - the latter perhaps the most eagerly sought of all African birds.
Accommodation is available in Akagera Game Lodge.
