Discover the incredible diversity of Akagera National Park from Wilderness Magashi. This region is once again flourishing with apex predators and abundant wildlife. Spot lions, black and white rhinos, buffalo, and elephants traversing its rolling hills and sprawling savannas. Magashi offers an authentic East African safari experience, ideally paired with gorilla trekking in Rwanda.
Magashi Camp welcomes children aged six and older. Families with children between six and twelve years must reserve a private vehicle. This requires booking at least three tents, as vehicles are limited.
Located in Akagera National Park's private concession, Magashi Camp is home to hippos, lions, black rhinos, leopards, crocodiles, and a vast array of birdlife.
Six elegant, tented suites sit along the shores of Lake Rwanyakazinga. The central area features a plush lounge, bar, dining space, swimming pool, and a large viewing deck with a warm firepit. The design and décor celebrate Rwanda’s cultural heritage.
Magashi’s eight spacious tented suites, nestled along Lake Rwanyakazinga's shoreline, offer a serene retreat in a stunning natural setting. These tents provide an intimate and immersive safari experience, with views of breathtaking landscapes.
Meals at Magashi focus on sustainable, locally inspired dishes. The menu highlights Rwanda’s traditional ingredients and fresh, local produce, including the signature "Rolex" breakfast wrap and a Kugisha dinner, served alongside Rwandan tales and music.
With 11 unique habitats, Akagera National Park is a game-viewing paradise. The open plains support a thriving lion population. Elephants and hippos linger in the lakes and swamps, while Masai giraffes roam the woodlands.
A variety of safari activities await, including thrilling boat safaris with elevated seating for exceptional views and guided game drives, where guests can aid conservation efforts by identifying lions and leopards. Evenings conclude with a traditional Kugisha supper around a campfire, sharing stories and songs under the stars.

Mel has been exceptional in helping us…
Mel has been exceptional in helping us book our trip to South Africa. She gave me insight about what to do and where to go and put up with my 1000 changes to the trip. I highly recommend working with her and I cannot wait to make it to the actual trip. Im so excited!

Mel was fantastic but do your research!
Mel from Safari.com went above and beyond to ensure that our entire trip went smoothly. We visited both South Africa and Zimbabwe. We had a few hiccups along the way, as we were initially assigned another agent (who no longer works there) and unfortunately gave us high expectations and promises that weren’t fulfilled. She promised us a Ngala / Sabi safari type of experience in South Africa but booked us a lodge called Kusudalweni (which was no where near that type of experience! The service, food, location, and planned activities were all beyond disappointing. Would definitely avoid this place!!). Mel was not familiar with this lodge and unfortunately just followed along the previous agent. Mel tried her best to arrange another lodge and offer us other game drives but unfortunately the lodge was extremely difficult to deal with. Although, she organised the lodge in Zimbabwe and that was incredible! She was extremely responsive throughout our entire trip and ensured to contact our hotels, guides, etc. anytime we had a problem, it was such a relief to not have to worry about any of the hassle while we were there. My biggest recommendation is making sure to do your research about the lodges / hotels that are offered and see if they align with the type of “luxury” experience you are expecting. Mel was definitely great at ensuring we knew exactly what we were getting and I would definitely recommend requesting her specifically. Mel deserves a 5 star rating but unfortunately, due to the issues we had with the previous agent at this company, I had to give it an overall 4 star review.
