You have to admit the local businesses are colorful in the countryside

Local countryside with just dirt roads for miles to the entrance of the Akagera National Park

I would like to see anyone here in the Western World ride a bike with this amount of Bananas on each bike.

This is our first game drive visit in Rwanda at The Akagera National Park.

Akagera National Park lies in eastern Rwanda, hugging the border with Tanzania. It's characterized by woodland, swamps, low mountains and savannah. The varied terrain shelters wildlife including zebras, giraffes, elephants, lions and hundreds of bird species, such as the rare shoebill stork. In the southern part of the park, vast Lake Ihema is home to hippos and crocodiles.

Akagera National Park covers 433 sq miles. It was founded in 1934. A chimpanzee walking across the dry grass.
