“I might be crazy but I can’t find anything more seductive than these places with their integrity. It is the heart of history that you feel coming out from these landscapes”
*Daniel Kihlgren - Founder Sextantio*
The official ceremonial welcome for the opening of Sextantio Rwanda Camp January 2023. An assemblage of long-established huts on an island, custom built on lake Kivu one of Africa's largest lakes.
Daniele Kihlgren is the rebellious third child of a wealthy family of cement industry magnates.
He was included in the list of the 25 most influential personalities who have changed the way of traveling by Condé Nast Traveler.
He landed his Rwanda Projetto Capanne (small hut project) that keeps the local tradition alive. A nonprofit distributing directly to the natives boosting the community in the hopes that the locals will not have to beg also offers insurance to the neediest.
When you visit Sextantio you will be able to enjoy fishing on this huge Lake. This will give you an opportunity to paddle in a dugout canoe, try the local banana brew and enjoy wildlife.
You will not want to miss Rwanda’s main attraction, the mighty Silverback Gorillas.

Rest in Peace Jesse2!

It’s Devastating to hear the news, that the remaining Sankai/Fig Tree pride male Olbarikoi/Jesse2 was found dead today at his territory around Fig Tree area. Jesse2 won our heart for being a very responsible protector of his pride and a loving father for his kids. He’s been trying so hard to lead his pride avoid all those obstacles after losing his brother Olope to Black Rock boys. Very sad to accept this ending that we eventually lost this great lion. It still needs investigation what caused to his sudden death - only his carcass was found after part of the body has been eaten by hyenas, no immediate proof for territory fight, therefore the controversies. Though it’s suspected the two Black Rockers Olobor and Oloshipa may have arrived once again to do a fatal attack, it’s also well known that Fig Tree Camp area is a hot-spot for human-wildlife conflicts during past years (we lost the core Fig Tree pride as well as 1/4 Sankai subadults at this location exactly). We hope to know the truth, waiting for official investigations, and will get everyone updated.

Rest in Peace Jesse2. You have rejoined your dearest brothers across the rainbow bridge. So far we may have lost all the original 7 Offbeat boys who were sired by Jesse and Frank. It’s sad to observe these males collapsed too early at their prime age.

Here you see my friend Tony preparing for exams underneath the beautiful mango tree that not only bore fruit for us, but also provided shade until the rains arrived-and now, is no longer. We will miss the fruit and shade. The kittens already miss chasing each other up and down the mango tree.
