Private 1 Day Akagera Big Five Safari with pick up and lunch.

It was a very interesting day in Akagera National Park. We saw many different animals, and the nature was beautiful. Kim was great at spotting the game and was also a very nice and pleasant person to talk to throughout the whole tour.

An unforgettable day in Akagera! The 1-day safari from Kigali, trip was perfectly organized. My guide/driver was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, sharing lots of insights about Rwanda, Akagera National Park, and wildlife conservation. The 4x4 vehicle was comfortable, and drinking water was always available at no extra cost. Around midday we had a tasty included lunch – I chose a delicious cheeseburger with sides and homemade iced tea. We spent about 6 hours in the park and saw a wide range of animals: lions, elephant, hippos, baboons, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, various antelopes (impala, bushbuck), and many birds like fish eagles and guineafowl. We even spotted a crocodile resting in the water. Only rhino and leopard were missing from the Big Five – not surprising at the end of the rainy season (early June), with dense greenery. A fantastic day full of unforgettable moments – highly recommended!

We had an amazing day with Kim driving around the national park. We managed to see 3 out of the big five and many more majestic species. Kim is a knowledgeable and friendly guide and knows the park like the back of his hand. More importantly, he knows how to safely approach the animals and read their behaviour to keep a safe distance and avoid contact. The breakfast and lunch places were also great and had delicious food. The park itself is magnificent and the Rwandan people and government have done an amazing job creating a safe haven for these animals, especially the endangered species.

It was a magical day!!! We managed to see 3 of the Big Five. There was rain, sunshine… and excellent tips and fun facts from our guide, Kim! Super attentive, patient, and friendly throughout the entire trip.

I came to Rwanda with my entire family in vacation trip, we did a trip of two days in Akagera national park our tourist guide was Christian he really managed time he came on time for a pick up and he gave us a short well understandable briefing. On our way he drove us well, he could answer every question we could ask up to the park after we arrived in the park he suggested us about doing bot trip experience on ihema lake and we spotted all aquatic animals such as hippos, crocodiles and different species of birds. We saw Elphant and buffaloes drinking water on the lake actually this experience was very impressive we even spotted four out of five big animals as well others like giraffes, antelope. I would like to conclude by thanking universal ventures especially tourist guide Christian I am kindly requesting that who ever come to travel in Rwanda with universal ventures would ask for Tour guide Christian on his or her safari thanks ❤️

I had an amazing experience visiting Akagera National Park in Rwanda with my family. We were captivated by the breathtaking landscapes, rich natural beauty, and the abundance of wildlife. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our tour guide and driver, Mr. Tuyisenge Christian, for his exceptional professionalism and clear, detailed explanations throughout the trip. His guidance truly enhanced our experience. Once again, thank you for making our visit so memorable.
