Rise early for a light breakfast, then start your day with a scenic boat safari on Lake Ihema. Glide through calm waters where hippos wallow and crocodiles sunbathe, while birdwatchers will love the sightings of African fish eagles and kingfishers.

After the boat ride, continue with a full game drive through Akagera’s varied landscapes from rolling savannahs to woodland hills and shimmering lakes. With expert tracking, you have a strong chance of seeing elephants, buffalo, lions, rhinos, and even leopards, along with herds of antelope and dazzling birdlife.

After lunch, drive back to Kigali and check into your hotel for a relaxing evening in the heart of the city.

After breakfast, begin your day at Nyandungu Eco Park, a restored urban wetland turned into an oasis of green. Walk among native trees, medicinal gardens, and bird-filled trails as your guide explains how Rwanda is leading the way in eco-restoration.

Continue with a Kigali city tour, exploring both its emotional depth and modern innovation. Visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial to understand the country’s powerful story of resilience, followed by a stop at Inema Arts Center, where contemporary Rwandan artists bring local creativity to life.
