Gorilla Trekking and Akagera National Park: A Combined Safari Itinerary

Gorilla Trekking and Akagera National Park: A Combined Safari Itinerary

Published August 26, 2026 · By · 1 min read

Akagera, Rwanda’s rebuilt Big Five savannah park in the east, pairs naturally with Volcanoes National Park gorilla trekking for travellers who want game drives alongside their Rwanda gorilla trip.

Why This Pairing Works

Akagera is the only place in Rwanda for a genuine game drive safari, with reintroduced lion and black rhino alongside elephant and giraffe.

A Sample Structure

Two days in Akagera for game drives and a Lake Ihema boat cruise, then a transfer to Musanze for gorilla trekking.
