Best Travel Guide To Akagera National Park Night Wildlife Game Drives In Rwanda 

Enjoy an after-dark safari experience in the beautiful savannah wilderness of Rwanda’s Akagera National Park, featuring fascinating night drives that expose tourists to another side of the safari experience. One that only awakens after the sun goes down.

Tourists venture out after dark for a night drive with experienced park guides. Wildlife-friendly infrared spotlights seek out nocturnal animals not seen during the day including Bush babies, spring hares, servals, and genets are all regularly seen and, if you are extremely lucky, the elusive pangolin, aardwolf, hyenas, lions, or even a leopard, may make an appearance.

Under the cover of darkness, the bush takes on a primal feel. The tension is extraordinary as Predators and prey are on high alert. And so too are the visitors. Visitors keep their eyes and ears open and are trained for the smells, sounds, and sights that could mean an animal lurking nearby such as the lion roars, jackal cries, elephant rumbles, and others.

About Akagera National Park:

Founded in 1934, Akagera National Park is Central Africa's largest protected wetland and the last remaining refuge for savannah-adapted species in Rwanda, and home to the famous Big 5 game:-lions, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos, and elephants. It's named after the Akagera River that flows along its eastern boundary and feeds into a labyrinth of lakes of which the largest is Lake Ihema.

Guided night drives that commence at sunset are a fantastic way to cap off your day in the Park and offer the best chance of seeing nocturnal wildlife, from lions to leopards which are among the most sought-after sightings.

A boat trip on lakes Ihema and Rwanyakizinga is also a highlight of any visit to Akagera National Park, with its large pods of hippos, Nile crocodiles, and abundant birdlife.

Visitors get a chance to be close to elusive nighttime creatures, see owls and nightjars, witness battles for survival, and learn more about the awe-inspiring night sky.
