What To Expect
Akagera National Park
Visitors to Akagera can expect to encounter a wide variety of plains game, including majestic elephants, formidable buffalo herds, graceful topi, striking zebras, and various antelope species such as waterbuck, roan antelope, and eland. Smaller antelope species also abound, with duiker, oribi, bohor reedbuck, klipspringer, bushbuck, and impala frequently spotted throughout the park. Primate enthusiasts will delight in observing olive baboons and vervet monkeys during daylight hours, while the more secretive blue monkey may reward patient observers. Akagera's ecosystem supports a range of predators, including the stealthy leopard, opportunistic hyena, and side-striped jackal. The recent reintroduction of lions has added an exciting dimension to the park's predator population. In a significant conservation effort, plans are underway to reintroduce the black rhino, which will restore Akagera's prestigious 'Big 5' status, further enhancing its appeal as a premier safari destination.

5.00What a wonderful day I lived with Yambitours Safari in Akagera Park. Nice group, nice weather, nice guide. We nearly saw all the big five. Only one was missing. We saw many more animals from mammals to birds, olive baboons feeding babies, elephant feeding babies, rhinos white and black, lions, and many more. All that in a day, with delicious breakfast in the park, all house made by Yambi Guesthouse.

5.00This was a great day trip safari from Kigali. Gad the guide was very knowledgeable and Kevin the driver was masterful. They were able to spot many animals even in the distance. Lunch in the park was very good. There was a stopping point halfway on the drive with good breakfasts, snacks, coffee and clean restrooms. I am so glad I was able to include this Yambi Tours Akagera safari on my Rwanda trip.
