Rwanda's only savanna park — a remarkable conservation success story with reintroduced lions, rhinos, and growing Big Five populations along scenic lakes and papyrus swamps.
June to September for dry season game viewing. The park is accessible year-round. Morning boat safaris on Lake Ihema are best in the early dry season when hippos and waterbirds are concentrated.
