Akagera: Rwanda’s Reborn Big 5 Wilderness | Ukuri

Akagera National Park is situated on Rwanda’s eastern edge, where the Akagera River marks the boundary with Tanzania. Here you will find Central Africa's largest protected wetland, consisting of a complex system of lakes linked by papyrus-lined swamps. Akagera is Rwanda's only protected area for savannah-adapted wildlife and is widely regarded as a major rewilding success story, transforming from a landscape on the verge of ecological collapse after the 1994 genocide into a thriving Big 5 safari destination. Visitors to this beautiful park can choose between staying at Ruzizi Tented Lodge, a fully catered luxury eco-lodge nestled under a forest of huge palms and fig trees on the Lake Ihema shoreline or at the off-the-grid Karenge Bush Camp, perched on a ridge overlooking the wildlife-rich Kilala Plains below. In the remote north of Akagera National Park, the camp is completely unfenced to give guests a natural safari experience.  Learn more about Akagera here: https://ukuri.travel/places/akagera-n...
