Night game drive in Akagera

Located in eastern Rwanda, Akagera is the country’s only Big Five park and one of Africa’s most scenic savannah landscapes. As night falls, the park transforms into a haven for nocturnal wildlife. Our guided night game drives offer an unforgettable chance to spot predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas, as well as elusive creatures like civets, genets, bush babies, and porcupines, all from the safety of a spotlight equipped safari vehicle led by expert rangers.

To fully enjoy the night safari, guests are encouraged to stay at one of the authentic accommodations inside the park, such as the eco-luxurious Ruzizi Tented Lodge, the family friendly Akagera Game Lodge, or the seasonal Karenge Bush Camp for a true wilderness immersion. Staying within the park not only allows easy access to the night game drive but also enhances your chances of early morning wildlife sightings during a sunrise game drive.

Akagera offers more than just night drives. Enhance your adventure with a daytime game safari to track the Big Five, a tranquil boat safari on Lake Ihema, or birdwatching across diverse habitats. For a well-rounded Rwanda safari, we also offer combination packages including gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe Forest, or a relaxing retreat on the shores of Lake Kivu.
