Akagera National Park
Kayonza
Akagera National Park is Rwanda's only savanna park and a premier "Big Five" destination as of 2026, featuring a unique mix of wetlands, lakes, and open grasslands. Nestled in northeastern Rwanda along the Tanzania border, it is a 2–3 hour drive from Kigali. Recently featured on National Geographic’s 2026 "Best of the World" list, the park has become a leading conservation hub following the successful reintroduction of lions and rhinos
