What to Expect: Two-Day Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Kigali to Akagera – Game Drive & Boat Safari
Your safari begins with an early morning pickup in Kigali. After a scenic 2.5-hour drive, you’ll arrive at Akagera National Park. Once inside, your game drive starts immediately, with chances to spot giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and elephants along the way.
In the afternoon, enjoy a boat safari on Lake Ihema, where you’ll see hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of waterbirds. As the sun sets, relax at a comfortable safari lodge inside or near the park, where Mandari Travel ensures you enjoy warm hospitality and stunning views.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive & Return to Kigali
Wake up early for a sunrise game drive, the best time to spot predators like lions and leopards before they retreat into the shade. You’ll also have another chance to encounter rhinos and buffalo, completing your Big Five experience. After a few more hours of exploring, you’ll enjoy a relaxed drive back to Kigali, arriving in the afternoon.
Best Time to Visit Akagera
Akagera safaris are possible year-round, but the dry season (June–September and December–February) is the best time for wildlife viewing. During this period, animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.
