About this place
Perched on a ridge overlooking the wildlife-rich Kilala Plains below, Karenge is an off-the-grid getaway for safari enthusiasts seeking privacy and solitude. Located in the remote north of Akagera National Park, this rustic fully catered bush camp features seven en-suite tented chalets on raised wooden decks. The camp is completely unfenced for a natural safari experience. Karenge means small footprint in Kinyarwanda, reflecting the camps rustic charm and light ecological footprint. Closed in April each year due to rainfall-related inaccessibility.
