What It's Like to Sleep in a Safari Tent at Akagera

There is something deeply special about falling asleep to the sounds of Akagera. The distant call of a hippo, the chirping of crickets, the soft rustle of wind through banana leaves — it is a world away from city life. Our safari tents are designed to bring you as close to nature as possible without sacrificing comfort. The canvas walls let in the breeze and the sounds of the bush, while inside you have a proper bed with quality linen, warm lighting, and thoughtfully chosen African textiles. Guests often tell us the first morning is the best. Waking up with the sunrise, stepping onto your small verandah with a cup of Rwandan coffee, watching the hills come alive with light — it is the kind of moment you come back for.
