With its swamps and trails, Akagera is a prime destination for new safari perspectives. 

Lions watch on and rhinos trample the bushes. An elephant blows his trunk like a trumpet. Wildlife gathers around the water. First you will explore by boat, crossing the swamps for some very close-up perspectives with the big animals. 

Then, away from lion country, you’ll walk upon the savannah to gain a new appreciation of antelope and smaller creatures. While Akagera doesn’t have the same volume of wild animals as parks in Kenya or Tanzania, an opportunity to try different activities makes it a very worthy safari destination.
