Rwanda is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, with many national parks and game reserves offering incredible safari experiences. Akagera National Park, where Mantis Akagera Game Lodge is located, is one of the most popular safari destinations in Rwanda. The park is home to the Big Five game animals, including lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants, and buffaloes, as well as many other species of wildlife and birds. Rwanda is also a great destination for birdwatching, with over 600 species of birds recorded in the country.
For those interested in going on a safari in Rwanda, the dry season (June to September) is the best time to visit. During this time, the weather is dry and the wildlife is more concentrated around water sources, making it easier to spot animals. It’s essential to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes, and to bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. A camera, binoculars, and a field guide can also be useful for capturing memories and identifying the wildlife and birds you see. Always follow the instructions of your guide and stay in the vehicle during game drives, and avoid feeding or touching the wildlife. With its stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and incredible wildlife, Rwanda is a must-visit destination for any traveler.
