This morning, your driver will meet you at your hotel at 9am and transfer you to Akagera National Park. Akagera National Park is one of Africa's most remarkable success stories. Now home to lions, rhinoceros the Big-Five and so much more there are over 13,000 large animals including a rapidly growing number of apex predators, it is one of the best places for game viewing in Africa. However, what makes Akagera special is its conservation. Just over 20 years ago it was on the verge of being lost forever, however, visionary leadership from African Parks has built a story of prosperity and hope where wildlife is flourishing. Whilst one of Africa's smaller game parks, its diversity of habitats is unique. There are lakes, marshes, savannah, mountains and woodland all of which make for some truly spectacular scenery. Sunset boat ride on Lake Ihema, get chance to see schools of hippos, Nile crocodiles and several water bird species. Overnight at Akagera Game Lodge on Full Board.

• 2 Days Safari in Akagera National Park: Akagera Game Lodge

Set off early to find the best wildlife and explore the low-lying plains, savannah, woodlands, wetlands and some of the dozen lakes that comprise this special place. With common sightings of zebra, giraffe, buffalo, topi, and lots of impala, you'll also be keeping a lookout for elephants, rhinoceros, defassa waterbuck, roan antelope, eland, duiker, oribi, bohor reedbuck, klipspringer and bushbuck. On the plains, you'll probably find spotted hyaenas and may see lions. Leopards are usually seen in the scrub and woodlands, whilst serval - a wild cat, side-striped jackal and several species of mongoose may also be spotted - if you're lucky. Make sure to take a packed lunch and stop at one of the designated picnic sites around the park. Toilets are available in a few locations. Drinking water is not available outside of the lodges, so make sure you bring sufficient for your drive. Return to Kigali in the evening, drop off at the Airport or your residence in Kigali.
