Wilderness Magashi Camp opened in 2019 on a private concession within Akagera National Park, Rwanda's only Big Five savannah reserve on the country's eastern border with Tanzania. The camp runs eight tented suites along the shore of Lake Rwanyakazinga, each with a private deck overlooking the water.
