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.
Trip Highlights
Big Five in Rwanda: elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and reintroduced black rhino
Boat cruise on Lake Ihema: hippos, Nile crocodiles and over 500 bird species
Night game drive: nocturnal species rarely seen on daytime drives
Giraffe, zebra, topi, oribi and rare shoebill stork in the wetlands
Reintroduced lion and rhino: a conservation success story
Scenic route through Rwanda's eastern rolling hills
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.

I had an absolutely wonderful time in Kenya, all thanks to Millcent / Saringi Travel. From the incredibly friendly and reliable communication, to the flexible and thoughtful travel planning, all the way to the outstanding care on the ground, everything was simply perfect. I always felt well taken care of and in the best hands. What impressed me most was not only their professionalism, but also the sheer beauty of the entire experience. I'm still completely in awe! Thank you Millcent and thank you Letaloi!!!
