Wilderness Magashi Camp

Lakeside luxury in the heart of Rwanda’s untamed savannah

Nestled in the remote north-eastern corner of Akagera National Park, Wilderness Magashi Camp offers a rare blend of wild beauty and refined comfort. Overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Rwanyakazinga, this intimate camp immerses guests in one of East Africa’s most scenic landscapes — a mosaic of open plains, papyrus swamps, and rolling grasslands.

Designed to reflect traditional Rwandan aesthetics, the camp features six spacious canvas tents, each with sweeping views of the lake and the surrounding wilderness. After a morning of thrilling game drives or peaceful birdwatching, guests can unwind in the elegant lounge, dine in the open-air restaurant, or take a refreshing dip in the pool. Evenings at Magashi are best spent on the expansive deck beside the fire pit, sharing stories under the stars.

Magashi is located in a region teeming with wildlife — from thriving lion and reintroduced black rhino populations to large pods of hippo, crocodiles, and the elusive sitatunga antelope. With over 520 bird species recorded in the park, it’s also a haven for ornithologists and nature lovers alike.
