You can find Akagera National Park in northwest Rwanda, right on the border with Tanzania.
The park features three very different ecosystems: the lakes (Shakani and Ihéma) and swamps along the Akagera River; the classic African savanna with its trademark acacia trees and open-plains big game, reminiscent of more well-known parks in Kenya and Tanzania; and breathtaking montane landscapes.

Kilimanjaro National Park gets its name from Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), located barely three degrees south of the Equator, is Africa's tallest peak and the world's highest single-standing mountain. Kilimanjaro will be one of your greatest travel experiences, with its farmed lowlands of Moshi, misty rainforests, moorland dotted with huge lobelias, rocky and desolate lunar vistas of the higher slopes, and, to top it all off, the perpetual snow fields at Kibo mountain.

Lake Nakuru National Park, established in 1961, is renowned for its millions of flamingos. With 188 sq km of protected land, it has a manageable terrain accessible by car, dotted with over 550 plant species, and prominent hills like Enasoit, Honeymoon, and lion hill ridge. However, a previous fire and 2011 floods have altered the park's ecosystem. The integration of Euphorbia tree species is restoring balance.
