The dry season is considered to be the best time to explore Akagera national park of Rwanda. It happens in the months of June, July, August, September, December, January, and February. These months are characterized by little or no rainfall which makes the roads dry hence making it easy for tourists to pass through the trails while doing game viewing. The wet season is good for bird lovers and it starts in the month of March to May and again from October to November. The wet season has a lot of rainfall which makes the roads unpassable because of mad.
The best way to access Akagera national park is by hiring a good and comfortable 4-wheel safari car. The journey from Kigali international airport to the park takes you about 2 – 3 hours. Akagera national park is located on the northeastern side of the country. Another way to get to Akagera national park is by using helicopter flights from Kigali international airport to Akagera within just 25 minutes using Akagera aviation.
Despite the high numbers of wildlife in Akagera national park, many tourists want to meet eye to eye with rare mountain gorillas in the volcanoes national park.
