Two luxurious pontoons and a swamp cruiser enable scenic lake outings, picnic lunches, and sunset cocktails, while immersive wildlife tracking experiences contribute to conservation efforts.

Purpose: Wilderness Magashi Peninsula embodies a purpose-driven ethos, combining luxury tourism with impactful conservation and community initiatives in partnership with African Parks and the Rwanda Development board, collectively called the Akagera Management Company.

Wildlife: With 10 identified vegetation biomes in the park, 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, including the rare and sought-after shoebill.
