A peaceful midday gathering in the Akagera marshlands. Impalas lounging, one lone waterbuck strolling by—and a hidden egret watching it all unfold.

Driving through the open stretches of Rwanda’s eastern plains, the clouds shifted and let loose these gentle beams of light, soft, diffused, and almost celestial. It was one of those unexpected quiet moments where nature simply stops you.
No roaring wildlife this time. Just the wind in the grass, a distant bird in the sky, and the soft hush of an afternoon sky opening above the hills.
Little feet, big journey.
A red-necked spurfowl leads her tiny flock safely across a dirt track in Akagera National Park. Watching them hustle in perfect formation was one of those small but unforgettable safari moments.

Up close with the bold beauty of Akagera.
Zebras wear their uniqueness proudly—no two stripe patterns are alike. I could spend hours admiring their quiet confidence and striking contrast against the golden grasslands.
