Akagera National Park

Akagera National Park

Spanning across an area of 2500 sq. km in Central Africa, Akagera National Park is the largest protected wetland in Africa. The park is easily accessible and is just two half hour drive from Kigali International Airport. 

Akagera National Park narrates an inspiring story of the successful conservational efforts of concerned authorities. Before 20 years, this national park was on the verge of depletion due to poaching and warfare. 

Today, effective conservation practices have transformed the debilitated landscape into an economically beneficial park that is profitable for both wildlife and people.
