From the towering giraffes to the powerful lions, every moment in Akagera is a chance to connect with nature in its purest form.
Morning – Depart early from Kigali with your Gorilla Bike Tours guide for a scenic drive eastward to Akagera National Park (approx. 2.5 hours). Upon arrival at the park gates, enjoy a light breakfast and a briefing before beginning your adventure. You’ll embark on a thrilling game drive through the park’s diverse landscapes, from rolling savannahs to shimmering lakes. Expect to encounter elephants, buffaloes, zebras, antelopes, giraffes, and—if you’re lucky—the lions or elusive leopards.
Midday – Around noon, break for a picnic-style lunch at a designated viewpoint overlooking Lake Ihema or another scenic location. Relax and soak in the sights and sounds of Akagera’s wetlands and birdlife.
Afternoon – Continue the game drive through the southern section of the park, exploring the varied ecosystems that make Akagera so unique. This part of the park is especially good for spotting hippos and crocodiles in the water, as well as herds of impala and topi.
Evening – Begin your return journey to Kigali, arriving in the early evening. Depending on timing and guest interest, there may be a short stop en route for refreshments or a local craft market visit. Drop-off at your accommodation or Kigali city center.
