Akagera Savannah Plains
Classic African Safari Landscapes
The savannah plains of Akagera provide the best opportunities for game drives and wildlife spotting. This open landscape is home to elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and antelopes, making it a prime destination for classic African safari experiences. Stretching across the heart of the park, the golden grasslands dotted with acacia trees create the quintessential East African safari backdrop. During the dry season, animals congregate around water sources, making wildlife sightings incredibly rewarding. The plains are also home to large herds of topi, impala, and eland — creating spectacular scenes reminiscent of the Serengeti.
