Wilderness Magashi Camp is an exclusive luxury safari retreat in Rwanda’s Akagera National Park, offering an evocative blend of wilderness, elegance and conservation. Opened in 2019 in partnership with the Rwanda Development Board and African Parks, this camp gives guests exquisite safari experiences—from sunrise game drives to lakeside sunsets—all while supporting the revival of one of East Africa’s greatest savannah ecosystems.
Rooms
Magashi features spacious canvas-tented suites that combine rustic safari authenticity with contemporary comfort. Tents are raised on wooden decks, connected via raised walkways, and spread out to ensure privacy and serenity. Inside you’ll find king or twin beds with mosquito nets, plush bedding, a mini‑bar, en‑suite bathroom (with rain showers, indoor facilities, separate toilet), stone or wood flooring, and a private veranda with views of the lake. Décor reflects traditional Rwandan artistry—Imigongo designs, local artefacts, warm natural materials—balancing luxury with environmental harmony.
Dining
Dining at Magashi is fresh, local, and elegantly presented. Menus highlight Rwanda’s indigenous ingredients, colourful salads, freshly baked bread, wild honey, and signature items like the “Rolex” breakfast wrap. Dinners are often three‑course, thoughtfully crafted, and may be set in scenic environments—lakeside or around a fire pit. The communal dining bar and lounge areas offer relaxed yet refined atmospheres.
Recreation
Magashi offers top‑tier amenities in the wilderness. There is a serene swimming pool overlooking the lake, a stylish main lounge and bar, and a spacious viewing deck with a fire pit to enjoy sunset or starry‑night socialising. Guest service includes Wi‑Fi (in public areas and often in‑tent), 24‑hour reception, laundry, and eco‑friendly toiletries. Sustainability is central—solar power, low‑impact construction, and significant conservation contributions in protecting wildlife and habitats. Activities include day and night game drives, boat safaris, catch‑and‑release fishing, birdwatching, nature walks, and immersive wildlife viewing.

The camp is in a private concession—giving guests more secluded wildlife viewing away from the crowds. It’s reached via road (a few hours’ drive from Kigali) or optionally by charter flights.
