Akagera family safari
The most beautiful place to spend a night or more in Akagera park. Super welcoming staff, and a magical place!

Leisurely day trip with engaging, knowledgeable guide
We only had one day to spend outside the city, so we hit the road! Snacks, music, scenery — all fantastic. Inside the park, our guide made sure we saw lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, zebras and rhinos, but also knew a lot about birds, which was cool. The lakes make this park really special, and we were glad we went. Booking was professionally managed and guide was delightful.
Response from the operator: Dear Hayden, Thank you for taking time to Write such a positive review regarding your Wildlife Safari. Its our pleasure to hear that you enjoyed the trip and we look forward to hosting you and your family and friends again in the near future. Best Regards, Sandrine

One of the best
Shalom Safari was our tour gudie to the Akagera National Park. The staff are courteous, very relatable and professional. We were able to see msny different exotic animals you typical expect in a safari exercision. I have been to other country's safari and we were lucky to find the animals in Rwanda without much fuss unlike my past experience in other countries. Maybe it was luck. The boat ride on the lake (one of the largest lakes in Rwanda) was excellent as it gave us cool breath as it was a sunny day in Africa. Shalom Safari are professionals and you won't be disappointed with their service.

Why this scores 63

2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.
How much does 2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay cost?
+
Prices start at $1,120 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 2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay 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 2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay?
+
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 2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay 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 2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay?
+
Around 1 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 2Days Akagera N.Park Safari Adventure with Karenge bush Camp Stay 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.
