Uganda – Akagera National Park
Magashi Camp
About the hotel
Experience the ultimate East African safari adventure at Magashi Camp. It lies in the north-eastern part of Akagera National Park, home to lions, giraffes, rhinos, buffalo and elephants, among many others. The camp’s six luxurious tents enjoy unrivalled views over Lake Rwanyakazinga and are elegantly styled with traditional African touches. You can take in the park’s rich wildlife and birdlife, and perhaps even watch an elephant wander past your tent. With space for only a small number of guests, the camp promises an intimate and private atmosphere.
Kids & Teens
Children are welcome at the camp from the age of six. For families with children under twelve, a private safari vehicle must be booked. Children aged 13 and over may join guided walks, although there is no dedicated children’s programme. Even so, every safari, excursion and exploration is an exciting experience, bringing the wonders of the natural world closer to guests of all ages.
Experiences & Activities
Enjoy thrilling experiences such as epic game drives, guided nature walks, boat trips on Lake Rwanyakazinga and birdwatching. During these outings, keep an eye out for hippos, crocodiles and the extraordinary shoebill. At mealtimes, Magashi serves traditional dishes. Doesn't your mouth water at the thought of Liboke (chicken cooked and served in banana leaves), Sambaza (fried spiced fish served with ginger rice) and Kachumbari (a traditional tomato and onion salad)?

During this dry season, temperatures are pleasant and wildlife viewing is excellent, as animals gather near the reMayning water sources. The vegetation is also less dense, making it easier to spot wildlife in the surrounding landscape.
The clear weather conditions also make boat trips on the park’s lakes especially rewarding, with the chance to observe hippos, crocodiles and a wide variety of waterbirds.
