Akagera National Park is known as somewhat of a miracle. Like the country that hosts it, it has a violent past where poachers and settlers destroyed the area during the height of the war in the 1990s and thereafter. In 2010 African Parks assumed management and turned it into Central Africa’s largest protected wetland. Today, Akagera is home to over 8000 large mammals (including the black rhinoceros) and almost 500 species of birds.
