Roads in Akagera National Park

The roads in Akagera National Park allow you easy access to sighting animals inside the park. They are very good and passable during the dry months of January, February June, July, August, September, and October. During the rainy months, March, April, May, November, and December roads are inaccessible due to heavy rains around that period.

Key accessible roads in Akagera National Park include:-

– Western boundary fence: A 74.6-mile long fence that measures 120 kilometers, which was constructed as part of the security measures to increase the safety of the park.

– Kiyonza Gate: The only entry point to the park, located in the south, close to the Park Headquarters and Akagera’s best lodge.

– Nyungwe Gate: Located in the north, currently only available to exit the Park.

Please note that the park’s roads have improved significantly since African Parks came on board, allowing for varied game drives around plains, hills, and lakes. They usually take place in the mornings and afternoons or will take a full day if venturing to the north, with night drives an option for spotting Akagera’s nocturnal wildlife.
