Wilderness Magashi Peninsula
Intimate. Luxurious. Wilderness.
Overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Rwanyakazinga, and the Mutumba Mountains to the west, Magshi Peninsula is situated in a private concession within Akagera National Park – Central Africa’s largest protected wetland and Rwanda’s only refuge for savannah species. This area offers exceptional game-viewing opportunities in landscapes varying from open plains and woodlands to swamps, lakes, and rolling grassy hills.




Magashi Peninsula moments
This remarkable conservation success story owes its achievements to species reintroductions. Akagera supports a large diversity and density of wildlife. The park is home to leopard and lion, white rhinos, eastern black rhinos, buffalo, Masai giraffe, zebra, and interesting antelope such as topi, roan antelope, the elusive sitatunga, and oribi, alongside 520 bird species.
