Akagera Safaris offers self-drive tours in Rwanda’s Akagera National Park, the only Savannah wildlife park in the country, where visitors can enjoy game drives. You can rent a 4×4 vehicle from us, such as a 4×4 Rav4 for $45 per day or a Land Cruiser Prado for $80 per day, which is essential for exploring this national park. A visit to Akagera is highly recommended, especially for the chance to see the Big Five on a fortunate day. Located just two and a half hours from the capital city, Kigali, the park can be explored through both guided and self-driving options. Spanning 1,122 km2 along the Tanzanian border, Akagera National Park features diverse habitats including savannah, montane, and swamp areas. It is home to 58 different mammal species, totalling over 8,000 individuals. The Kagera River runs along the eastern edge of the park, feeding into Lake Ihema and several smaller lakes. This intricate network of lakes and papyrus swamps constitutes more than a third of the park, making it the largest protected wetland in Eastern-Central Africa.
