Wilderness Safaris, Akagera, Rwanda
Wilderness Safaris has officially opened its new camp, Magashi, overlooking Lake Rwanyakazinga in the north-east of Rwanda's wildlife-rich Akagera National Park.
Launched with conservation non-profit African Parks and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), the aim is to conserve Rwanda's last protected savannah ecosystem and threatened species like the East African subspecies of black rhino and shoebill stork.
Situated in north-eastern Akagera, Magashi offers game-viewing, including thrilling leopard and lion sightings and a range of plains game, from buffalo and hippo to zebra, Defassa waterbuck, impala, eland, Masai giraffe and topi.
Akagera's 500 bird species include lifers such as the papyrus gonolek.
African Parks reintroduced lions to the park after a 20-year absence, and reintroduced the black rhinoceros in 2017, making this Rwanda's only home to Africa's iconic savannah megafauna.
