Akagera National Park


Sundays are family days in Rwanda - much like our own. The President has encouraged families to clean their homes, yards, drives and then visit with friends and family. People line the streets walking to make visits and going to church.
We took the opportunity on Sunday morning to drive to Akagera National Park in the easternmost part of Rwanda near Tanzania. The park is a nature reserve of about 1500 sqkm. We saw some fantastic wildlife - giraffes, hippos, cape buffalo, topi (cool animal -google it), baboons, cliff springers and many more - oh and PUMBA! These are just a few of our favorite pics...
