Budget Akagera Big Five Safari

The Budget Akagera Big Five Safari is a 2-day, 1-night Rwanda tour package from $1,000 per person, part of our Basic tier. Rwanda's most affordable overnight safari — a guided Big Five experience in Akagera National Park over two days and one night, with full board and no gorilla permit required.

Day by day, this Rwanda safari package unfolds as follows. On Day 1, depart Kigali by private vehicle for Akagera National Park (approx. 2.5-3 hours), check in, then head straight into an afternoon guided Big Five game drive before dinner and overnight at a full-board lodge. On Day 2, an early guided sunrise game drive across Akagera's savanna and lakeshore, breakfast, then return transfer to Kigali by early afternoon.

Like every Rwanda tour package on this site, the Budget Akagera Big Five Safari is priced per person and includes akagera National Park entrance fees, 2 guided Big Five game drives, private safari vehicle & driver-guide, 1 night full-board accommodation, and all meals (2 days), with no hidden fees added after booking. A 60% deposit ($600) confirms your dates and secures permits and accommodation, with the remaining 40% due 20 days before travel. This itinerary is designed for Groups & individuals, and like all of our Rwanda safari packages it can be adjusted further — extra days, a different lodge category, or combined with another itinerary — to fit exactly what you have in mind.
