Wilderness Magashi - Wilderness Destinations

Discover a different side of Rwanda at Magashi Camp, an intimate luxury safari retreat set within a private concession in Akagera National Park. Overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Rwanyakazinga, the camp is surrounded by a remarkable landscape of open savannah, wetlands, lakes and woodland, offering a striking contrast to the country’s celebrated mountain gorilla forests.

With just eight spacious tented suites, Magashi provides an exclusive setting for exploring one of East Africa’s most rewarding savannah wilderness areas. Guided game drives offer opportunities to encounter lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and other iconic wildlife, while boat safaris, birdwatching and catch-and-release fishing provide different perspectives on the park. Grounded in conservation and community partnerships, Magashi is an excellent complement to a gorilla trekking itinerary, revealing another dimension of Rwanda’s extraordinary natural heritage.
