It’s named for a Akagera river that flows along the eastern boundary and feeds into a labyrinth of lakes. Rolling hills of Acacia bush with panoramic views across scattered grassland, patches of thick forest and mosaic of the swamp -fringed lakes along the meandering Akagera watercourse contribute to this park almost unrivaled diversity and scenic beauty. Akagera is unique, large herds of buffalo, impala, Topi, and Zebra are commonly seen.
