Incredible views, maximum comfort, seclusion and African wilderness experiences are some of the many things that guests enjoy at Magashi Camp, in Akagera National Park (Eastern border of Rwanda). Of the many things to expect, visitors to this luxurious Safari Camp should mostly be prepared to relish breathtaking views of Lake Rwanyakazinga and with its out-of-this-World setting in the magical savannah wilderness, the Camp sits on a private Concession area.
No other Safari Camp has been lucky enough to sit on its own sweeping wilderness, teeming with wide range of animals such as Kobs, Zebras, Sitatunga, Hippos, Defassa waterbucks, Rhinos, Nile crocodiles and wide array of bird species heard or seeing within the comfort of the Camp. Not only that, travellers are likely to see small prides of lions during walking safaris. The Camp sits on a 6000-hectare area that brings about the story of survival as well as regeneration.
Accommodation at the swanky Magashi Camp and amenities

This is the perfect place to relax away from the bustling Capital or after a physically demanding gorilla trekking adventure within verdant Volcanoes National Park.
The Camp’s friendly and welcoming staff will be more than willing to share the awe-inspiring Kugisha dinner with visitors, alongside cattle-rearing stories, legends and songs.
