SAFARI TOURS           The Park covers over 2500 sq km of savannah west of the Kagera River, which denotes the frontier with tanzania. The park has a variety of wildlife and is a habitat for over 500 different species of birds. There are accomodation facilities on the edge of the park at Gabiro, 100km to the north. Last year the Akagera Game Lodge, located in the Park near the Lake Ihema, has opened its doors again. So you will feel always in touch with the wildlife. You can taste the dusk over the lake and share the breakfast with the baboons.                 It is best not to visit the park in the rainy season (Dec, March and April) since many of the routes become impassable. Visiting the park is only possible with a land cruiser, accompanied by an ORTPN ranger. We offer full- and halfday-trips around the lakes.                 Camping alongside the picturesque lakes of Akagera is a truly mystical introduction to the wonders of the African bush. Pods of 50 hippopotami grunt and splutter through-out the day, while outsized crocodiles soak up the sun with their vast jaws menacingly agape. Magically, the air is torn apart by the unforgettable high duetting of a pair of fish eagles, asserting their status as the avian monarchs of Africa's waterways.
