Perched on Magashi Peninsula, Magashi Camp looks out over scenic Lake Rwanyakazinga towards the Mutumba Mountains in the west.
On the peninsula’s western side, waterbuck, impala and warthog can often be seen grazing, while on the eastern flank, eland frequent the lakeshore. The shore itself offers views of hippo, large crocodiles and a chance of elephant bulls, while the core of the Amahoro lion pride is encapsulated by this spit of land.
Six spacious and airy tented guest rooms offer uninterrupted views over Lake Rwanyakazinga while Magashi’s main area comprises a luxurious lounge and dining area, bar and pool, as well as an expansive viewing deck with convivial fire pit. The architecture and interiors pay homage to traditional Rwandan culture.
Magashi has been established in partnership with the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and African Parks, demonstrating the commitment to pioneering sustainable and authentic ecotourism in Rwanda. The core purpose is to help conserve Rwanda’s last protected savannah ecosystem, and species like Black rhino and the rare and elusive shoebill; furthermore, the presence of African Parks in Akagera National Park contributes towards enabling the park to become economically self-sufficient for the first time.
