Rwanda's last remaining refuge for the Big 5
Akagera National Park is Central Africa’s largest protected wetland and a last-of-its-kind sanctuary for savannah-adapted animal species in Rwanda. A revival success story, Akagera has been transformed into an income-generating park that benefits the local communities and proliferates wildlife populations. With its name originating from the Kagera River, this wildlife reserve is predominantly made up of swamps and lakes located in north-eastern Rwanda at the Tanzanian border. Displaying classic Rwandan scenery, its astonishing ecosystem encompasses rolling hills, extensive plains, and varying forests inhabited by diverse wildlife, especially large mammals and bountiful birdlife.
