3-Day Akagera National Park Luxury Safari: a 3-day private safari with Afrisites, starting from Kigali. The route is Kigali, Akagera National Park. Built around Akagera’s lakes and savannah. Road days are the real west-Uganda or Rwanda distances, not padded shopping stops. Lodges are the top of the range we can confirm for your dates. Park fees for this circuit are included in the quote.
