What makes this 2-day safari adventure unique is the perfect blend of exhilarating wildlife encounters and refined comfort, all within the breathtaking setting of Rwanda’s Akagera National Park. Unlike longer, more demanding safaris, this experience is designed for travelers seeking an immersive yet time-efficient escape into the African wilderness. You’ll have the rare chance to spot the Big 5 - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo - in a relatively compact time-frame, guided by seasoned experts who enrich the journey with deep knowledge of the park’s ecology and local culture.

The scenic diversity of Akagera - from savannahs and rolling hills to shimmering lakes - offers unmatched photographic opportunities. Your stay at the mid-range Mantis Akagera Game Lodge combines warm hospitality, panoramic views, and gourmet cuisine, ensuring a rejuvenating rest between game drives. It’s an ideal getaway for adventurers who crave both nature and comfort.

  • Safari in Akagera, Rwanda

    Our guide, Daniel, was exceptional and made our safari a very memorable experience. Without his expertise we wouldn’t have seen half as much as we did; rhino, hippo, buffalo, gazelle, impala, warthogs, elephants, giraffe, and many many birds. He was also a really fun member of our group! Highly recommended.

  • Fantastic (you’re in luck if you have Jean Claude)

    We had an excellent experience with Vazquez Tours and Travel! From start to finish, they took great care of us, listened to our needs, and ensured everything was tailored accordingly. Our driver was not only incredibly safe but also highly knowledgeable—not just about the wildlife, but also about Rwanda’s geography, history, and culture. The vehicle was in great condition and very comfortable, making the journey even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this operator to anyone looking for a well-organized and insightful tour!
