Bought a well nice car with wheels made from cut out flip flops. |
Awesome stuff! |
They are a bit pushy when you stop but who can blame them. |
They are not too forceful though so i recommend people to stop and have a look. |
Nice souvenirs! |
It is located in East of Rwanda. |
It is very attractive by its flora and fauna different with others from other regions of Rwanda. |
Recently they introduced lions and they planned to introduce also rhinos as currently they are not. |
So After It will have five big animals. |
It has security but be carefully with the wild animals like black mamba, lions, hippos, buffalo. |
I recommend you not to approach them. |
It is good to visit it in drying season (Mid December to Mid February and Mid May to September). |
But If you like raining season no problem you can visit because temperature is favorable but you need to have rain jacket. |
It beautiful. |
It has also many beautiful lakes but not swim in as they are crocodiles in . |
I recommend you to visit it. |
It is good to go there in the morning. |
This was my first safari and Akagera is still rebuilding to compete with the parks in Kenya and Tanzania. |
With that being said the staff and guides were great and we spent a wonderful day exploring the park. |
We got up close and personal with herd of elephants, saw never-ending amounts of Zebras, a Hippo family, one crocodile, many amazing birds, and many Impalas. |
We missed the Zebra's because they were in the north end of the park at the time and we did not have time to visit them. |
been to this park in august 2016 and really loved the park for the diversity and incredible number of wild life and bird viewing. |
its almost 3 hours drive frome kigali and definately a worthwhile one. |
boat trips along the shore was really amazing and delightful to watch some acquatic sightnings.i found its very easy to spot the wild life here probaby because of lack of preadorts which indeed gives very relaxed and close experince of wildlifes. |
A beautiful place. |
Great guide provided by the park HQ and we self-drove with him as a passenger from South to North gate in a day. |
Our kids (7 and 9) loved it. |
Great sightings of elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, crocs, all kinds of deer, birds and the like. |
Didn't spot any lions but were busy all day spotting and passed thru various types of scenery. |
Guide stopped us for lunch on an open plain with great views of the giraffes. |
Awesome. |
We have been in akagera for 4days and we liked both lodge and park itself service was very nice and we appreciated everything we received. |
One of the most special (and oldest) national parks I have ever visited. |
A jewel located in Rwanda, with a huge chance to experience the wildlife from very close by. |
The trip from Kigali down to Akagera is also very worthwhile as it leads through the beautiful landscape of Rwanda. |
Best to visit in the rainy season, when animals are out and visible. |
We spent a night and we have a wonderful time. |
We got to see elephants, jirafs, zebras, hipos, cocodriles, bambus, bufalos. |
The boat trip was worth it too. |
We went with Uber Luxes Safaris, totally recommende |
What a day spent at Akagera National Park! |
We rented a safari car for a day and it was wonderful. |
We saw all sorts of animals from giraffes, zebras, my favorite animal by far, Hippos, and many others. |
Exploring all the wildlife was amazing. |
This is a trip worth taking once in your life for sure. |
The interation you get by being close to this wildlife is hard to describe in words. |
We were a group of 4, visited around June 2015 and had a blast. |
if you wanna see elephants, make sure you go very early ( 5-6am), which is the only type of animal we missed. |
Cannot wait to go back especially now that they have lions. |
I much enjoyed the lions and big troops/groups of elephant.....landscapes of this park makes it unique + lakes |
You need at least a full day here because the wildlife has to be sought out, and you have to be patient. |
The community guide was excellent (you can ask for one of these rather than one actually employed by the park), and he certainly knew his wildlife - he was passionate and enthusiastic. |
Three years ago it was difficult to spot wildlife because they were not used to humans, but this is improving now, and you have much better photo opportunities. |
The park management are forward-thinking - their maps and guides are worth buying - they have introduced lions - they are introducing rhinos right now - and giving you the option of asking for a community guide is a really good idea. |
I have the greatest admiration for what they are doing. |
Amazing experience! |
Giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocs, eagle, buffalos, impalas, monkeys, baboons, and much more. |
Plus amazing vistas! |
Pack plenty of water, snacks, and bug spray and you'll have an incredible time. |
I absolutely love this park. |
It's beautiful, has stunning views and we saw tons of amazing animals! |
I'd recommend getting a guide if you're not familiar with the park. |
Camping is also a really cool option if you're into that. |
Very close to the capital of Rwanda, Kigali. |
If it's your first time on a safari and in Africa, this may be a decent choice, otherwise it may be considered just a nice place for a picnic, as long as you don't plan on seeing many animals |
Akagera won't give you the extensive animal variety of the neighbouring countries or South African parks, but the number of animals is increasing rapidly. |
Limits on the predator numbers despite the successful introduction of a lion pack supports this and we saw large numbers of elephant, zebra, antelope, hippo, birds, some giraffe and a serval |
Not a large park by Kenya or S.A. standards but interesting none the less. |
Lots of animals and except for rhino, has most of the things that people have on their priority list. |
There are relatively few lions since they were only recently re-introduced and I am told that rhinos will be reintroduced soon. |
I didn't see elephants although we saw plenty of signs of them and we visited as a day trip from Kigali so we were only in he park about 6 hours and I am sure we would have seen them if we had been there a little longer. |
Since we were not there at night, the likelihood of seeing hyenas and leopards were not very good and we didn't spot them. |
Lots of beautiful lakes and beautiful habitat for the animals. |
It was well worth the 3 hr trek to get there. |
BTW, the scenery along the way was beautiful and you get a good feel for the daily lives of the people living in the villages along the way. |
A great park with abundant wildlife and birdlife. |
The hotel staff were very friendly, the food was good and the rooms clean and well maintained. |
We visited Akagera in the dry season and stayed in the south of the NP at the game lodge on top of the hill, offering a great view. |
South of the NP was pretty empty so we drove up north and found an amazing number of animals near the lakes. |
Wonderfull view, highly recommended! |
This was my first safari experience in Rwanda. |
I have experienced many, many safaris in the country of Kenya. |
It is not a fair comparison to make between the two countries, but sufficient it to say that I did thoroughly enjoy my experience in Akagera. |
I would revisit this national park again. |
Also, the lodge located in the national park offered incredible accommodations for the price. |
It's like a zoo Not like a safari in Kenya or Tanzania or South Africa . |
There, we are told that there is a lions and did not see anything This is a second time I visit the park and the last time. |
I have visited Akagera several times and each time I see something new; diferent animals, lots of birds, gone on a boat trip, a night ride, stayed in camps and lodges. |
Really worth visiting |
I am glad that I was had the opportunity to visit Akagera. |
The accommodations are good and we did see many animals on our morning safari. |
Although we had heared that Akagera doesn't have the biggest nor widest wild life selection, we were quite lucky and saw several elephants, and all the other typical wild life. |
You can drive for quite some time without seeing any animal and a big part of the park is forest/higher vegetation which doesn't make it feel like the typical safari. |
However, you get wonderful views on landscape and wildlife |
My first safari. |
Compared to what I read about Kenya and other more established parks this park is not as dramatic. |
Didn't care. |
Saw plenty in the 2 days in the park. |
Our driver was fabulous and the accompanying park ranger pointed out a ton of things we would have just driven by.. |
If you have 2'days, spend one on ground and the other go out on the boat tour to see the birds along the shoreline.. |
