Ask about a scheduled boat safari to see lakeside wildlife and waterbirds from a different perspective.
Allow room for birdwatching, photography and an overnight stay if you would like a less hurried safari.
A day tour from Kigali is possible; a longer stay gives more time in the park. Ask Hillsome Trails team to confirm the vehicle, park entry, boat availability and accommodation. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
