2 Days Akagera National Park Safari with Hot Air Balloon

Begin your adventure with a scenic three-hour drive from Kigali to Akagera National Park, passing through lush countryside and charming Rwandan villages. Arrive at your midrange lodge or campsite, check in, and enjoy a hearty lunch while soaking in the park’s natural surroundings.

In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive with an experienced guide. Spot Akagera’s incredible wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and, if you’re lucky, lions on the prowl.

Boat ride on Lake Ihema, home to hippos, crocodiles, and an impressive array of bird species like fish eagles and herons. Capture stunning photos as the sun dips over the park’s serene waters.

Wake up before dawn for a magical hot air balloon flight over Akagera’s sweeping savannahs. Drift silently above the plains as the sun rises, spotting wildlife from a unique aerial perspective an experience few get to witness.

Land for a luxurious bush breakfast amid the wild, with views that stretch over the park’s rolling hills and shimmering lakes. Enjoy a final game drive, giving you one last chance to see the Big Five; lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and the recently reintroduced black rhino, before returning to Kigali.
