Overview
It’s like something out of the movies… Your boat crosses Lake Rwanyakazinga, encircled by the mountains of the Magashi Peninsula, to land you on the shore, your tent secluded by pristine forest. Calls from the 500 bird species ring out and, if you’re lucky, you might already spot Defassa waterbuck, Masai giraffe, topi and shoebill storks on the shore.
What makes Magashi even more special is that there are only a handful of tents, meaning guest and vehicle numbers are very limited. Akagera National Park is off the beaten track, making it a true gem for wildlife lovers. The camp has been designed with muted colours from nature with traditional imigongo patterns in black, white and ochre providing tonal accents.
