Magashi Camp offers luxury and unforgettable stays for visitors to Akagera National Park and of all the places you have been told about, this Camp is so far one of the best in Rwanda for reasons you are about to find out.
Guests of Magashi Camp have one of the rarest opportunities of seeing big mammals in close proximity, especially elephants as they submerge in the beautiful silver-blue Lake Rwanyakazinga as they raise their extraordinary trunks like periscopes for air. This is something you will only experience at this stupendous Property and you can’t afford to miss it during your Rwanda wildlife safari.
The only way you can get to Magashi Camp is by a boat ride on Lake Rwanyakazinga and this spices visitors’ experiences.
The beautiful Magashi Camp is one of the few Properties owned and managed by Wilderness Safaris and sits on over 60 square kilometers of private-use land within Akagera National Park. This has enabled the Camp to tell the unique story of Rwanda’s incredible survival and regeneration. The hospitality here is on another level with the staff being extraordinarily welcoming, friendly, warm, and always willing to help and share about their rich traditional culture with guests. During the “Kugisha” supper most guests always look forward is about sharing stories and legends related to cattle rearing.
The Camp sits on raised decks to protect guests from animals that frequently visit and this also provides breathtaking views of the sweeping savannah wilderness as well as the beautiful Rwanyakazinga Lake.
