Wilderness Magashi Peninsula is set to open in September 2025, offering a fresh standard of privacy and style in Rwanda’s luxury safari scene. Nestled within the scenic Akagera National Park, this new lodge invites guests to experience wild Africa in an exclusive, eco-conscious setting.
Built on a private peninsula overlooking Lake Rwanyakazinga, the lodge promises unmatched access to wildlife, contemporary comfort, and impactful conservation efforts.
A Rare Gem Inside Akagera National Park

Located in the northeastern corner of Akagera National Park, Wilderness Magashi Peninsula rests within one of Rwanda’s most diverse ecosystems. This area boasts sweeping landscapes—from open plains to lakes and woodlands—and is home to large animal populations.
Guests can enjoy close encounters with lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, buffalo, and leopards, alongside sightings of hundreds of bird species. Because the lodge is deep within the park, it guarantees a quiet, intimate safari experience away from crowds.
Wilderness Magashi Peninsula: Luxury Meets Sustainability

Wilderness Magashi Peninsula embraces both elegance and environmental care. The lodge will feature only eight beds, divided between a four-bedroom villa and two twin suites. Every structure uses locally sourced materials and traditional building methods, paired with refined modern finishes.
To minimize its ecological impact, the camp will rely on solar power, natural ventilation, and elevated walkways. This makes it a top choice for travelers seeking both luxury and sustainability during their Rwanda safari.
A Purpose-Driven Escape
This lodge isn’t just a beautiful retreat—it’s part of a greater mission. In partnership with African Parks and the Rwanda Development Board, Wilderness Magashi Peninsula will actively support conservation initiatives within Akagera.
Each visit helps protect wildlife, fund community education, and restore vital habitats. Guests directly contribute to safeguarding Rwanda’s biodiversity and empowering local communities.
