In recent years, Akagera National Park, Rwanda's only sanctuary for savannah species, has become a formidable force for conservation in central Africa. Situated on a secluded peninsula within a private concession of the park, Magashi Peninsula offers its guests a chance to fully immerse themselves in the wilderness whilst also actively working to protect it. The lodge was built to have the lightest footprint possible and it’s entirely solar-powered with a team that hail from the neighbouring communities. Looking out across the cerulean waters of Lake Rwanyakazinga and the Mutumba Mountains to the west, this intimate safari lodge is the perfect place for an adventure...
With a two-bedroom, exclusive-use villa and additional twin rooms, all spaced 200 metres apart, Magashi Peninsula offers the utmost in privacy. Each room has its own private pool with spectacular views, thanks to their thoughtful placement. Just imagine waking to a chorus of birds and elephants wading quietly into the lake before you, a fresh cup of Rwanda's best beans in hand to start the day... The villa boasts a private lounge, dining area and kitchen, as well as an extra en-suite room, which can be used as a children's room, gym or office.
The guides are consummate storytellers, making each excursion full of life and passion. And that's before we've got to the wildlife sightings...
Each room has the option of sleeping out on a rooftop star bed for a chance to slumbering beneath an unbelievably clear sky.
Reaching Magashi Peninsula includes a three-hour drive from Kigali to Akagera's entrance, followed by an hour's drive to camp. To save some time, why not splash out on a helicopter transfer?
