The 6th day started off fairly early I do have to say. Much earlier than any of us would have liked!

We travelled for about 2 1/2 – 3 hours to get to Akagera National Safari Park. When we eventually arrived we got an amazing guide named Justus.

Justus travelled on our bus throughout the journey through the park. At first we spotted giraffes, which was spectacular to see as many of us had never seen giraffes in real life before.

We sighted many species of antelopes, water-hogs, and other types of birds. There were many zebras around the park. Many different types of animals would stay to one specific area of the park but zebras were all around.

Around the water area we saw hippos sunken into the water, including a hippo skull.

Finally, our last sighting was the best of all many would say. We had spotted an elephant in the distance. We went as close as we could and we all got some amazing photos.

The safari trip was an extremely interesting and a very worthwhile trip.
