1-Day Akagera Big Five Game Drive & Boat Safari
This Akagera day trip from Kigali packs Rwanda’s Big Five into a single long day: a morning game drive across the park’s savanna and lakeside plains, a boat safari on Lake Ihema gliding past hippos and crocodiles, and an afternoon drive under the big sky. Park fees, a private 4x4 and your guide are included — an easy wildlife counterpoint to the gorilla trek on a longer Rwanda itinerary.
