3-Day Akagera National Park Safari — Special Offer $1,050

The 3-day Akagera safari is our single most popular package — and right now available at a special price of only $1,050 per person (was $1,200, saving you $150). Three full days in Rwanda's greatest savannah national park delivers the complete Big Five experience: morning game drives targeting lions and elephants, the unmissable Lake Ihema boat safari, the thrilling Akagera night game drive, and dedicated rhino tracking in the park's southern sector. This discount makes a world-class African safari more accessible than ever — but availability is limited.

3-Day Akagera Safari Itinerary

Day 1 — Arrival, Morning Game Drive & Lake Ihema Boat Safari

Depart Kigali at 6:00 am for the scenic 2.5-hour drive to Akagera. Your first Akagera Big Five game drive covers the park's central plains, targeting elephant herds, lion prides, and the antelope populations that form the base of Akagera's food chain. After a bush lunch, the Lake Ihema boat safari (1.5 hours) reveals pods of 50+ hippos, massive Nile crocodiles, and spectacular water birds in golden afternoon light.

Day 2 — Night Game Drive & Rhino Tracking

The most dramatic day of the 3-day Akagera package: morning game drive followed by the centrepiece Akagera night game drive. Armed with powerful spotlights, you venture into the park after dark — spotting lions mid-hunt, leopards moving silently through acacia, civets, genets and servals. Day 2 afternoon explores Akagera's southern sector for rhino tracking — over 40 rhinos now roam following the landmark 2017 reintroduction.

Day 3 — Sunrise Game Drive & Return

Sunrise over Akagera's savannah: lions on hilltops, elephants at morning water, cheetahs scanning open plains. Final game drive, farewell bush breakfast, return to Kigali by midday — free afternoon ahead of you.

Why the 3-Day Akagera Package Is Our Best Value

At the special offer price of $1,050 per person — down from $1,200, saving $150 — this package includes professional guide, 4x4, three days of park fees, night game drive, Lake Ihema boat safari, 2 nights accommodation and all meals. Compare to equivalent Kenya/Tanzania Big Five packages (routinely $3,000–$6,000 for 3 days) and Rwanda's value is undeniable. Secure this discounted rate now — availability is limited to the current promotion period.

The Night Game Drive — Akagera After Dark

The Akagera night game drive is included in this package and unlike anything a daytime safari delivers. Lions, usually resting in shade by noon, are active hunters at night. Leopards, nearly invisible in daylight, are bold after dark. Civets, genets, servals and spring hares complete the nocturnal cast. All fully safe, expertly guided — genuinely one of Rwanda's most electrifying wildlife experiences.
