Magashi Camp welcomes you to the northeast of Akagera National Park as an intimate, classically designed safari camp. The camp is located on an elevated deck and is architecturally designed in traditional Rwandan style. It consists of six luxurious tented suites, a lounge, a dining and bar area, a wine cellar, a pool, and a viewing platform with its own fire pit. Exciting activities such as game drives, balloon safaris, and bird watching await you every day, before you can relax and unwind with a traditional massage or beauty treatment.
The highlights of your dream vacation at Magashi Camp naturally include game drives – both during the day and at night. Here you can observe giraffes, buffalos, lions, zebras, leopards, hippos, elephants, and spotted hyenas, among other animals. Boat trips, fishing, and an Olympus photo safari are also available. The region is also home to around 520 species of birds, which is why bird watching is highly recommended. On an idyllic boat trip across the majestic Lake Rwanyakazinga, you will experience Rwandan nature up close and personal, and by the end of your dream vacation, you will feel completely connected to it.
The six luxurious tents, featuring wooden floors, soft lighting, and tasteful Rwandan artwork, have a dressing area, a desk with chair, a lounge area, and a private outdoor area offering panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. The raised four-poster beds feature a beautiful transparent canopy, and when you roll up the outer tent flap, you can enjoy sweeping views of the park.
Using the abundant fresh produce available, the menus at the camp are light and creative, in tune with the seasons. The chefs focus on locally sourced fruit and vegetables, with freshly squeezed juices, salads, and platters galore. For brunch, order a "Rolex": a lavishly filled and rolled chapati with eggs, cabbage, tomatoes, and onions. Dinner is beautifully presented and continues to celebrate the local culture—not least with classics such as green bananas and chicken skewers cooked over the campfire.
Rwanda is known for its magnificent flora and fauna. In one of the most beautiful corners of the country, Wilderness Safaris' Magashi Camp welcomes you – an extraordinary hideaway surrounded by virtually untouched nature. Here, you will stay in one of only six spacious luxury tents, which are bright and cheerfully furnished, with interiors that pay homage to traditional Rwandan culture. From your terrace, you can let your gaze wander over the lake and the stresses of everyday life at home fade away completely for a few moments. The camp is also completely solar-powered and free of single-use plastics, further underlining its impressive environmental credentials.
