Overview

The 3 Days Akagera National Park Safari is a 3-day safari through Akagera National Park, Rwanda, designed and operated by Saringi Tours. Based in Nairobi and women-led, Saringi has been building private African itineraries since 2018. This route takes in Akagera, with each day sequenced to put you in the right place at the right time for wildlife.

Gorilla trekking in this part of East Africa requires specialist knowledge, advance permits, and a reliable local network. Saringi handles all of it: permits, guide allocations, and lodge bookings are managed on your behalf. The itinerary is private and fully flexible. Dates, pace, and accommodation can be adjusted at any point, and Kenya or Tanzania wildlife days can be added if you want to extend the journey.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Your safari guide meets you in Kigali for a short briefing before driving east through Rwanda's rolling green hills to Akagera National Park. Arrive in time for an introductory game drive en route to your lodge, where lunch awaits. Rest during the hottest hours, then head out again for an afternoon game drive from 3 to 6 pm across the savannah plains. In the evening, a night game drive reveals the park after dark: genets, bushbabies and prowling predators.
