Location
_______
On the edge of Rwanda's savannah wilderness.
Wilderness Magashi Camp is located within a private wilderness area of Akagera National Park in north-eastern Rwanda. Its position beside Lake Rwanyakazinga gives the camp an exceptional combination of water, wetlands, open plains and woodland.
Unlike Rwanda's volcanic north-west, this part of the country is defined by broad savannah landscapes and lakes. It provides a completely different safari experience and makes Magashi an excellent addition to a wider Rwanda itinerary.
A remarkable savannah and wetland ecosystem in eastern Rwanda.
A beautiful lakeside setting for wildlife viewing and boating.
An intimate setting designed around a small-scale safari experience.
Luxury accommodation
_______
Eight tented suites. One intimate wilderness experience.
Wilderness Magashi Camp offers an intimate luxury safari experience with eight spacious tented suites overlooking the beautiful Lake Rwanyakazinga in Akagera National Park. Designed to blend naturally with the surrounding wilderness, each suite combines elegant safari style, privacy and modern comfort while keeping the landscape at the centre of the experience.
Inside, guests enjoy thoughtfully designed living spaces, comfortable beds, en-suite facilities and carefully selected natural finishes that create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. Large openings allow gentle breezes, birdsong and views of the surrounding savannah and lake to become part of the stay.
The camp's small scale creates a peaceful and personal atmosphere, making it particularly appealing to couples, honeymooners, photographers and discerning safari travellers. Between game drives and boat excursions, guests can retreat to their private tent, relax in the camp's shared spaces and enjoy the changing colours of the Rwandan wilderness.
For travellers seeking luxury safari accommodation in Rwanda, Magashi offers comfort without losing its authentic connection to nature.

Lake Rwanyakazinga
_______
Wake up beside the water.
Lake Rwanyakazinga gives Wilderness Magashi Camp much of its distinctive character.
