I cannot say enough about how incredible Richard and Emile (my guide for the trip) were in assisting me through my trip from the airport in Kigali to four days in Akagera National Park. My bags were delayed, but Richard worked tirelessly on my behalf to get them from the airline and delivered to where I was staying safely—he kept telling me to leave the worrying to him and enjoy my safari, and he made that easy to do. He planned all of my safari drives during my stay at Ruzizi Lodge (I’m not sure when he sleeps because sometimes he was answering my messages from the States when I know it was the middle of the night! 😅), and Emile was beyond helpful in teaching me not just about what I saw on the game drives, but about Rwanda itself. Emile worked tirelessly to make sure I saw as many animals as I could during my stay—even trying again and again to find the ever elusive lions. As a single woman traveling alone, I felt perfectly safe. They are both so beyond kind and helpful, and I would recommend Richard’s company and Emile again and again!

Students from Rubavu Technical College (Tourism Level 5) recently had an enriching and unforgettable study visit to Akagera National Park. This experience was highly valuable for their academic and professional development in the tourism field.
During the visit, students explored the park’s stunning landscapes and observed a wide variety of wildlife in their natural habitat. This hands-on exposure greatly enhanced their understanding of sustainable tourism, wildlife conservation, and tour guiding practices.
The park guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and professional, providing detailed insights that aligned perfectly with the students’ course content. The organization of the visit was excellent, ensuring both safety and an engaging learning environment.
Akagera National Park is truly an outstanding destination for tourism students, offering practical learning experiences that cannot be gained in the classroom alone. We highly recommend it for educational tours and training in the tourism and hospitality sector.
Thank you to the entire Akagera National Park team for making this visit so impactful and memorable.

Small amazing park with many animals amazing views and good roads
Very nice
Beautiful park in Rwanda where we visited for 3 nights. Boat trip to the islands, enjoying the sightings of many animals and birds 😍 the second day we went into the bush for a 5 hour game drive, again lots of birds in the grass land, elephant, antilope, warthog, baboons, giraffe, zebra, monkeys randomly in the park. The views are beautiful, lush and green and the animals are looking so healthy because of the abundance of food. So worth a visit with a number of beautiful lodges inside and outside the Park 😍
