Summary
Getting there: Kigali is served by international flights from Brussels and London; Bujumbura, Burundi; Johannesburg, South Africa; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Kampala, Uganda and Nairobi, Kenya. It is best to travel from Kigali to the park in a four-wheel drive vehicle. Tours or private taxis can be arranged in Kigali. Rates for individual taxi drivers start from $42 a day plus fuel. Guides from the entrance gate or the Akagera Game Lodge will accompany you at no charge. Tipping is not expected. Entry fees to the park are $6 for adults, $2 for children 7-18 and free for children under 7. Fees for vehicles begin at $3.
When to go: The best time to visit the park is during the dry period from November to January when most grass is short and hard, the way herbivores such as zebras and antelopes like it because it is tasty and they can see predators like lions from far. This also makes it easier for human visitors to see lions. And game drives in Akagera National Park are usually leisurely and fruitful, unlike the sometimes frenzied efforts to spot game in places like Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve.See the full content of this document
