   8 hours Admission included

   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.
