- Akagera National Park - Located just two hours from Kigali, Akagera National Park is in Rwanda’s eastern province, bordering Tanzania. Spanning approximately 1,100 km², the park boasts a unique and scenic landscape with a rich variety of wildlife and habitats. The park’s western boundary is mountainous, reaching nearly 2000 meters in the Mutumba hills, offering breathtaking views over the extensive lakes and papyrus swamps to the east, which form the largest protected wetland in Central Africa. Nationally, the Akagera region is vital for large mammals as it is the only protected savannah environment in Rwanda, complementing the humid forests of Nyungwe National Park in the south and the afro-alpine habitats of Volcanoes National Park in the north. Akagera’s conservation success is inspiring, thanks to the public-private partnership between the conservation non-profit African Parks and the Rwanda Development Board.
