Perfect two day safari
My son and I had 3 days to explore some sights in Rwanda before travelling onto Uganda. We booked a two day safari with Rwagasabo Safari to Akagera National Park which is in the east of Rwanda on the Tanzanian border. Our guide Vincent collected us on time and proved a great host on our 2 day trip, answering all our questions, we felt in good hands for our first visit in Rwanda. After a briefing in the park office and a short drive we made ourselves comfortable in Akagera Game Lodge, where we stayed for one night. It was the perfect base. The staff were friendly, professional and welcoming, the accommodation was clean, well equipped, delicious food and hotel facilities. The first evening we went on a night safari which was great fun! We saw some sightings but most the following day. Day two started with a boat safari which was led by a very knowledgeable guide who showed us crocodiles of varying ages and sizes, lots of bathing hippopotamus, snake birds (they have very long necks and when they are in the lake you can only their necks which look like a snake). Palm nut vulture, African fish eagle and many other bird species. Vincent and a park ranger Alpha spent the rest of the day driving from the south of the park and out the northern gate. We managed to spot: Genet, water buffalo, topi, water buck, bush buck, impala, giraffe, zebra, warthog, leopard, white tailed mongoose, loads of white rhino, elephants and a big pride of lions. Vulture, snake bird, lots of eagles and a snake!

Fantastic safari with my tour guide
i spent 2 nights there, one at the muyumbu campsite and the other one at ruzizi tented lodge, i managed to see all the big 5 in 2 days and did the boat ride which was fabulous. But all these would not have happened without my amazing guide called Emmanuel he is comprehensive and professional. I would recommend him to anyone coming to rwanda. He drives and knows all the places, his WhatsApp number is +250785019310.

Great Safari for Solo Traveler
As a solo female traveler, choosing a reputable tour operator is of utmost importance. Rwagasabo Safaris was an excellent choice. Serge was very welcoming and charismatic and was quick to respond through WhatsApp anytime I had questions leading up to my tour. The accommodations included in the tour were very nice, and as an added surprise - the tour was completely private. We saw many animals, including three of the Big Five, and I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend Serge and Rwagasabo Safaris.

Once in a lifetime safari experience!
After traveling to Kigali for a work conference, my colleague and I decided to book this tour and I’m so glad that we did! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and you shouldn’t hesitate to book! Our guide, Serge, made all the necessary arrangements from picking us up at our hotel, arranging for our accommodation at the Akagera Lodge, and booking us on an evening drive and morning boat tour with park staff. Our driver, Fabrice, was excellent at navigating all of the roads and trails, and I always felt safe with him behind the wheel despite getting the full “African massage” experience from the bumpy roads! Serge did a great job providing the full itinerary upon pickup and made sure to maximize our two days to see as much as the park as we could! His biology background enabled him to describe interesting facts about each species of animal and it’s clear that he cares about conservation efforts! We were able to see 4 of the big 5 including a baby white rhinoceros who wasn’t more than a few days old! I had 0 expectations about the animals I might see because obviously the guides can’t make guarantees about where the animals will be, but each time we turned a corner a new group of animals were there! It was well-worth the money to have everything arranged and taken care of by Serge and in return I have amazing memories from a once in a lifetime experience!

An incredible experience!
The highlight of my trip to Rwanda! It was an incredible experience and unquestionably worth the money. Our guides were great guys and very knowledgeable. I saw way more animals than I expected. Definitely something I’ll always remember. Go!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.
How much does 2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off) cost?
+
Prices start at $1,250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off) take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off)?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Akagera Wildlife Safari( pick up and drop off) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kigali?
+
On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kigali?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kigali?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
