4-Day Family Wildlife Adventure

A safari built around children rather than merely tolerating them: Akagera game drives with the park's kids' ranger booklet to fill in (binoculars provided, sticker on completion — taken very seriously), a boat safari among the hippos, and a village day of drumming, cattle and banana-juice pressing that the whole family joins rather than watches.

Distances are short — Akagera is 2.5 hours from Kigali — days end early, and the lodge has a pool for the hours when small legs are done with the vehicle. There is no minimum age, and the guides are chosen for their patience as much as their eyesight.
