Akagera National Park

Nestled along Rwanda’s eastern border, Akagera National Park unfolds across 1,122 square kilometers of rolling savannahs, wetlands, and sparkling lakes. Often called Rwanda’s Big Five sanctuary, it offers a dramatic contrast to the country’s highland forests, blending classic African safari experiences with exclusive, high-end indulgence. Camptrek Safaris elevates every visit, providing private game drives, curated wildlife encounters, and stays in luxury lodges that overlook the park’s breathtaking landscapes.

Akagera is home to lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and the recently reintroduced rhinos, alongside giraffes, zebras, hippos, and countless bird species. The park’s mosaic of grasslands and water bodies allows for uninterrupted wildlife sightings, making every game drive a photographer’s dream. History and conservation are central here: once threatened by poaching, Akagera has been transformed through innovative protection programs into a thriving haven for wildlife, combining ecological significance with luxury safari experiences.

Luxury in Akagera is seamless. Lodges such as Ruzizi Tented Lodge and Magashi Camp offer elegantly designed tents and villas, private decks with lake and savannah views, gourmet cuisine, and spa services. With Camptrek Safaris, every safari drive, birdwatching excursion, and sundowner on the lakeshore is personalized and exclusive, ensuring guests experience the park in complete privacy and comfort.
