Lodges/Accommodation in Akagera National Park: Quick Guide by a Local

The cautious reintroduction of lions to Akagera has made it once again a Big 5 safari destination, adding another conservation success story to Rwanda’s resume. Savannah wildlife viewing in a landscape very distinct from the forests of Volcanoes and Nyungwe National Parks makes this an ideal location to combine with gorilla trekking.

Akagera National Park, Rwanda & Ruzizi Tented Lodge Stay

Where to Stay in Akagera National Park

The Dereva hotel

It’s only 40 minutes from the Park and offers reasonably priced rooms. There are both single and double rooms available, each with a kitchenette, free Wi-Fi, and access to a restaurant serving a variety of cuisines from across the world.

The Akagera Game Lodge

Every visitor to the Park should stay at the best hotel in the area. Over 60 guests can be accommodated in its spacious, self-contained rooms; guests can also enjoy a swimming pool, friendly service, and stunning vistas of the surrounding National Park, where monkeys, baboons, and other primates sometimes hang out.

The Magashi Lodge

Within the boundaries of the Akagera National Park is where you’ll find the Magashi lodge, a high-end hotel. There are huge, self-contained rooms, meals provided throughout the day, and other services that are well worth the price, and they are located only a few meters from the offices in the Park.

The Karenge Bush camp

The Karenge Bush camp is only available from December to February and June to August, when the demand for lodging is at its highest. Rooms are self-contained, and a variety of delicious options, both traditional and exotic, are available around the clock.

These are by far means the only lodging options available in Akagera National Park, but they should give you a good sense of what’s out there.
