When To Visit

Best Time To Visit Akagera

The Best Time to Visit Akagera National Park is during the dry seasons, which typically occur from June to August and December to February. During these periods, vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot, and animals congregate around water sources, providing excellent opportunities for game viewing. Additionally, the dry season coincides with Akagera's peak tourist season, offering optimal weather conditions for various Rwanda Safari Activities and outdoor adventures.

Our Travellers Reviews

Outstanding tour operator

I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.

Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!

We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.

A great experience!

We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
