Questions
Frequently asked
Can this itinerary be customised?
Yes. Every Pride Adventure trip is tailor-made. We can add or remove days, change the order, upgrade or downgrade lodges and add activities. Send us a request and we will send you a proposal.
Will we see the Big Five in Akagera?
Akagera is home to lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffalo. Sightings are never guaranteed, but our guides know where the animals are likely to be.
What is the best time to go?
The long dry season (June–September) and the short dry season (December–February) are the easiest for trekking and game drives. The green seasons are quieter, lush and good value.
