About this tour
Akagera without the clock: three days that pair classic game drives with the two things day-trippers always miss — the sunset boat safari on Lake Ihema, drifting through pods of hippos and shorelines crowded with waterbirds, and a behind-the-scenes morning with the park's conservation team to see how a park that lost all its lions became one of Africa's great comeback stories.
The pace suits photographers and birders especially (the park list tops 480 species), but really anyone who would rather watch one waterhole for an hour than race a checklist. Nights are at the park's lodge above Lake Ihema.
Highlights
- Sunset boat safari among hippos and fish eagles on Lake Ihema
