Magashi
Perched on a private peninsula above Lake Rwanyakazinga, Magashi is an intimate eight-tented camp that blends a relaxed style with prime wildlife viewing. Suites gaze across the water towards the Mutumba Hills, while the main area and firepit gather guests for easy afternoons and alfresco dinners. Days flow between game drives and boat safaris, with night drives revealing Akagera after dark. Magashi Camp is in its own exclusive-use area in the park, guiding feels unhurried, personal, and wonderfully private.

Highlights & Activities.
Day and night game drives explore open plains, woodlands, and lakeshores, while boat safaris on Lake Rwanyakazinga bring close hippo and birdlife. Guides can arrange catch-and-release fishing, scenic sundowner cruises, and unhurried photographic outings. Look for lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and reintroduced black and white rhino, plus Masai giraffe, topi, and Defassa waterbuck. Back at camp, enjoy quiet deck time, fireside drinks, and friendly, alfresco dinners by the water. Private vehicles are available on request, and the camp runs on solar with thoughtful, warm hosting. Boating is year-round on this vast lake.
Region information.
Akagera National Park protects a revived savannah mosaic of open plains, acacia woodland, papyrus swamps, and rolling hills along Rwanda’s eastern border. Conservation with African Parks has restored lion and both black and white rhino, alongside elephant, buffalo, leopard, hippo, crocodile, Masai giraffe, topi, and Defassa waterbuck. Birders can search for shoebill in the marshes when conditions align. Park rules permit day and night drives on set routes, plus boating and fishing on Lake Rwanyakazinga. Landscapes are varied, distances modest, and guiding standards strong, making unhurried safaris feel easy. Birding is excellent year-round.
