On the first day of your 3 Days Budget Akagera Safari Tour, you will leave Kigali early in the morning to head to Akagera National Park. The drive takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, during which you will enjoy the scenic views of Rwanda’s rolling hills and farmlands. Upon arrival, check in at your budget accommodation and freshen up.

After checking in, you will set out on your first game drive within the park. Prepare to see elephants wandering along the roads and buffaloes grazing in the grasslands. Keep an eye out for various antelope species, such as topis and impalas. You may also spot hippos lounging in the shallows of Lake Ihema and crocodiles sunbathing along the banks. As the sun begins to set, pause to capture photographs of the wildlife and the evening light. After your game drive, return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation, reflecting on your first day in this beautiful national park.

On the second day of your 3 Days Budget Akagera Safari Tour, you will start the day early with breakfast at your lodge. Afterward, head out for a full day of wildlife viewing. This day includes an extended game drive, allowing you to explore different areas of the park and maximize your chances of spotting diverse wildlife.

Look for lions resting in the shade and giraffes gracefully browsing on treetops. Keep your binoculars handy for birdwatching; Akagera is home to over 500 bird species, including the majestic African fish eagle and colorful lilac-breasted roller.

In the afternoon, take a boat safari on Lake Ihema, where you can enjoy close encounters with hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat. The boat ride also offers a different perspective on the surrounding scenery and wildlife. After the boat safari, return to your lodge for dinner and share your day’s adventures with fellow travelers.

On the final day of your 3 Days Budget Akagera Safari Tour, enjoy one last morning game drive in Akagera. This early start is ideal for observing wildlife before the heat of the day sets in. Look for elephants and buffaloes as they are often more active during the cooler morning hours.

You might also encounter some of the park's predators, such as lions or spotted hyenas, as they prepare for another day. After your game drive, return to your lodge for breakfast and check out.

Following breakfast, you will begin your journey back to Kigali, which takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. If time permits, consider stopping at local markets or viewpoints along the way. This concludes your 3 Days Budget Akagera Safari Tour, leaving you with wonderful memories of the wildlife and nature you encountered in Akagera National Park.
