Camping in Akagera National Park adds a raw, immersive touch to a two-day safari. Day one takes you through the southern region, spotting giraffes, elephants, rhinos, and rare birds before settling in at Shakani or Mutumba Campsite. Whether by the lake with hippos or on a hill with sweeping views, the night brings a true wilderness feel—dinner by the fire, distant lion calls, and an optional night game drive for a chance to spot the elusive leopard.

Day two takes you north, where open plains offer prime game viewing, including lions, buffalo, and black rhinos. A lunch stop at Lake Mihindi Picnic Site provides a scenic break before exiting through the northern gate, wrapping up an unforgettable camping safari in Akagera.
