Wilderness Magashi Camp

Wilderness Magashi Camp is Rwanda's premier luxury safari experience — an intimate tented camp perched like a butterfly on the pristine shores of Lake Rwanyakazinga in the exclusive north-eastern concession of Akagera National Park. Opened in 2019 in historic partnership with the Rwanda Development Board and African Parks, Magashi sits at the heart of one of Africa's greatest conservation success stories: Akagera's remarkable comeback, which saw the reintroduction of lions in 2015 and black rhinos in 2017, completing the Big Five. With just eight spacious tented suites — each elegantly decorated in local Rwandan tradition, featuring private decks overlooking the shimmering lake, king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, minibars, and in-room safes — Magashi delivers an extraordinary level of privacy, comfort, and exclusivity. Exclusive access to a private 6,000-hectare wilderness area means game drives are profoundly personal affairs, with expert guides who read the landscape like a book. Activities include day and night game drives, boating and fishing on the lake, guided nature walks, birding (520+ species including the rare shoebill stork), and the Kugisha supper — a traditional evening around a roaring fire accompanied by stories, songs, and Rwandan cultural dance. Sustainability is central to Magashi's identity: menus hero Rwanda's indigenous ingredients, produce is locally sourced, and the camp's guides were the first-ever Rwandans to receive the prestigious FGASA qualification. Magashi is the definitive complement to Rwanda's primate experiences in the west — completing the full Rwandan safari circuit.
