A safari at one of the Wilderness camps is always a good idea. And you won’t even need to raid the college fund to take your kids on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Rwanda.
The Park
Wilderness Magashi Peninsula sits inside Akagera National Park, Rwanda’s only savannah reserve, on a private stretch of land that reaches into Lake Rwanyakazinga. From its terraces, the Mutumba Hills shimmer across the horizon — a backdrop to the drama of the plains. Opened in September 2025, the lodge signals Wilderness’s move into East Africa, adding Rwanda to a portfolio that already stretches across Botswana, Namibia, and beyond.
Luxury in the Savannah
With only a handful of suites including a three‑bedroom villa and two tented suites – privacy is built into the experience. Each space opens onto plunge pools and uninterrupted views across Lake Rwanyakazinga. The setting places you right at the heart of Akagera’s wildlife: lions, rhinos, elephants, and hippos drift into view on game drives or boat safaris. The savannah unfolds in front of you like a living theatre.
For families in particular, the lodge is particularly adaptable. The villas flex into children’s rooms, offices, and gyms. When it comes to multi‑generational travel, this makes everything effortless. However, luxury here is never detached from purpose. Every stay contributes to Rwanda’s conservation success story, supporting ecosystems and local communities while deepening your connection to the land.
Conservation
Akagera National Park has become a symbol of Rwanda’s conservation success, with reintroduced lions and rhinos thriving in its landscapes. Wilderness Magashi Peninsula builds on that momentum, offering travelers a chance to experience Rwanda’s savannah wildlife in comfort and style. For families, it’s a rare opportunity: a safari that feels cinematic, but softened by comfort.
