A short, accessible safari in Rwanda's largest park — lion, elephant, rhino, and hippo.
Akagera was nearly empty in the 1990s but has been spectacularly restored by African Parks since 2010. Lions were reintroduced in 2015, black rhinos in 2017. Now it's a complete Big Five park, and the easiest add-on after a Kigali visit.
