Magashi Camp

Magashi Safari Camp in Akagera National Park’s vibrant northeastern quadrant is unquestionably one of the finest in the park. It serves as a gateway, offering guests an intimate perspective of the abundant life and wonders that surround the tranquil waters of Lake Rwanyakazinga. With the inclusion of the ‘big five’ – following the reintroduction of 18 black rhinos and two male lions in 2017 – the park promises a holistic safari experience, as guests are often privy to sights that encapsulate the sheer diversity and vitality of African wildlife.

Magashi’s design philosophy merges the nuances of traditional Rwandan aesthetics with modern simplicity. Every corner, every artifact resonates with stories of a rich cultural heritage. Elements such as wood, cowhides, bamboo, and earthenware are thoughtfully integrated, emphasizing comfort while also serving as a silent ode to the land’s history. Guests are assured of a serene experience, with accommodations strategically spaced amid the dense foliage to guarantee utmost privacy. The central tent, a hub of activity, is an embodiment of congeniality. Whether one wishes to indulge in a gourmet meal, lose oneself in a book from their eclectic library collection, or strike a conversation with fellow travelers, this space encapsulates the very essence of leisure and relaxation, all while being serenaded by the ambient sounds of nature.
