Follow Journey →Safari from Kigali
Kigali is Rwanda's principal arrival and organizing gateway for the country's three distinct national-park landscapes.
Its road connections make the capital the honest starting point for Akagera and the necessary junction before the longer southern progression to Nyungwe.
Build park permits, briefing times, weather, road conditions, and daylight into the itinerary before leaving the city.
The Akagera stage follows the same public road on arrival and return. The onward Nyungwe road then leaves Kigali through Rwanda's southern highlands.
