Akagera National Park is a protected area in eastern Rwanda, covering 1,122 km² (433 sq mi) along the international border with Tanzania. Here are some key points about the park:
Diverse Habitats: Akagera includes savannah, montane, and swamp habitats. The park’s complex system of lakes and papyrus swamps constitutes over a third of its area, making it the largest protected wetland in Eastern-Central Africa.
Wildlife: You can spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) here, along with other animals and birds. Masai giraffes, reintroduced from Kenya, have thrived in the park.
Conservation Efforts: In 2009, the Rwanda Development Board and the African Parks Network jointly managed Akagera. They implemented security measures, reintroduced species, and even brought back lions after a 15-year absence.
Location: The park is just two hours from Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, and offers stunning views of lakes, hills, and wildlife.
