It was amazing spending time with our driver Jean Claude in Akagera National Park. Akagera is absolutely stunning, so it is a very pleasant place to be whether or not you see animals. But we were fortunate to have a great animal viewing experience. We saw around 25 elephants (with a few very close to our vehicle), 4 rhinos, an amazing troop of baboons with around 60 members young and old, over 20 giraffes, over a hundred buffalo, dozens of hippos, a crocodile, and several species of antelope. We also saw amazing birds like the African king fish eagle.
It was a terrific experience. Jean Claude was amazing and went above and beyond to try to help us see a lion or leopard. We were not able to on this day, but it was still a fantastic experience. Jean Claude did an amazing job spotting animals and teaching us about them. I would strongly recommend.
