Akagera
Established in 1934 as a national park, Akagera is one of Central Africa’s largest protected wetlands and Rwanda’s last remaining refuge for savannah-adapted species.
179 butterfly species have been recorded, four new to the park, and almost 500 bird species have been documented, making Akagera an important ornithological site. Gishanda Fish Farm, located 10 km from Akagera, opened in October 2022. This innovative project sustainably farms tilapia to benefit communities and the ecosystem.
