Top Rwanda Camping Safari Packages 2025/2026



Rwanda camping safaris may not be the same as a typical camping destination, but the country offers a few excellent camps that can make up for this.

Some of the best camps in Rwanda include Ruzizi Tented Lodge and Magashi Tented Camp.

The top camping experiences in Rwanda are found in Akagera National Park. There are very few good camping options in Volcanoes National Park and Nyungwe Forest National Park.

So, if you want to go camping in Rwanda, Akagera National Park is the best location to consider.

Rwanda camping safaris allow you to connect with nature while enjoying an experience that you cannot get in a hotel or safari lodge.

Staying in a tent in the middle of the wilderness, surrounded by animals and plants, is an amazing experience.

This is especially enjoyable when shared with loved ones. Camping safaris are safe if all safety measures are followed. Let us take you camping in Rwanda today at the best prices.

Camping safaris are perfect for couples seeking a quiet place for a vacation or honeymoon.

It is a great way to enjoy the wilderness with your partner, take part in activities such as gorilla and chimpanzee tracking, nature walks, and canopy walks, and return in the evening to a comfortable, well-positioned tent.

The atmosphere is relaxing, and the memories are unforgettable. Research students will also find camping safaris ideal.

They are affordable and provide exposure to the wilderness, offering a chance to see what happens in the park at night under the moon and stars, with animals roaming freely in search of food.

You can bring your own tent or use those provided at designated camping sites. Just make sure to carry your personal items, such as soap, forks, spoons, saucepans, and flashlights.

Bed linen can be hired on-site, or you can bring your own. We encourage adventure tourists, families on vacation, and youths to try camping safaris because they offer flexible options, a calm environment, and privacy.

You can choose between luxurious, mid-range, or budget camping options, all of which provide services such as water, bars, bedding, and delicious meals.
