Rooms

Mit nur acht geräumigen Zeltunterkünften präsentiert sich das auf etwa 1.300 m Höhe gelegene Magashi Camp als angenehm überschaubare Unterkunft. Die geräumigen Canvas-Zelte sind auf einem stabilen Holzfundament montiert und bieten jeweils Platz für 2 Personen. Neben dem Holzfußboden, der für ein behagliches Ambiente sorgt, verfügt jedes Zelt über ein mit Moskitonetzen geschütztes Himmelbett und ein Bad mit Warmwasser-Dusche. Durch die aufrollbaren Seitenpanelen entsteht ein angenehm luftiges Klima mit Panoramablick auf die unberührte Natur. Auch von der eigenen Veranda mit Sitzgelegenheiten können Sie Ihren Blick über die faszinierende Savannenlandschaft schweifen lassen. Zwar sind die Zelte nicht klimatisiert, dafür sorgt ein Ventilator für einen frischen Luftstrom an heißen Tagen.

Culinary

The hub of the culinary get-togethers is the central tented lounge with indoor and outdoor dining areas. For breakfast as well as lunch and dinner, you will be spoiled here with freshly prepared dishes. In the afternoon, relaxed moments of enjoyment await you with pastries and coffee or tea. In the late evening, the fireplace becomes a popular meeting place to talk about the experiences of the day and to look up at the sky, where countless stars twinkle. The bar provides you with refreshments throughout the day.

Attractions

Experience wild animals such as elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos and rhinos in the wild - fulfil this childhood dream with a stay at Magashi Camp. Take exciting game drives in an open jeep on the tracks of the Big Five, take part in guided walks through the savannah or glide through the lake and river landscape at a leisurely pace on board a boat. Back at camp, relax by the outdoor pool or head out for a catch-and-release fishing trip.

Location

Just a 2.5-hour drive from Rwanda's capital Kigali, Akagera National Park awaits you in the east of Rwanda on the border with Tanzania. Since the reintroduction of lions in 2015 and black rhinos the following year, you can once again encounter the famous Big Five in the game reserve. With its favorable location on the Magashi peninsula on Lake Rwanyakazinga, Magashi Camp is ideal not only for the typical game drives in open jeeps but also for boat trips to observe crocodiles or rare bird species such as the shoebill. The savannah landscape with its wide plains, marshlands and grassy hills is reminiscent of the Serengeti in many places.
