Akagera,
Up Close

Restored wetlands and rolling plains where conservation has brought the Big Five back.

Akagera stretches along Rwanda's eastern border in a mosaic of lakes, papyrus swamps and wooded savannah. A celebrated conservation recovery has restored lions and black rhinos, creating a compact but richly varied complement to Rwanda's forest experiences.

We match the right camp, guide and pace to the season, then connect your stay smoothly with the rest of Rwanda.
