A Memorable Game Drive in Akagera National Park - I just got back from an incredible trip to Rwanda, and the game drive in Akagera National Park was definitely the highlight. Our guide, Emile, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, really making the whole experience feel personal and laid-back. It felt more like having a local friend showing us around than just being on a typical tour. The park itself was absolutely beautiful—wide-open savannah, tranquil lakes, and tons of wildlife. One of the coolest moments was spotting a rhino from a distance, which was a first for me. Emile was quick to point it out and give us all the info about the rhino’s role in the park’s conservation efforts. I also got my first up-close look at elephants and giraffes—those things are massive! I couldn’t get over how tall and big they were, especially the giraffes. Seeing them in person was honestly a bit surreal. Emile made sure we had plenty of time to soak it all in and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. I also appreciated how he kept things relaxed, never rushing us but also making sure we didn’t miss anything. I do wish I had spent two days in Akagera—one just wasn’t enough. I wanted to see a lion so badly, but unfortunately, I only had three days in Rwanda. That just means I’ll definitely be coming back for more next time! If you're ever in Rwanda, don’t miss a game drive in Akagera, and if you can, request Emile as your guide. He made the experience unforgettable. I’d also highly recommend going with Iriza Tours. They took care of everything from start to finish, and the whole trip was seamless. They really know how to show you the best of Rwanda.

I had a FunFilled Adventure game drive - My trip to Akagera with Iriza Tours was unforgettable, thanks to our guide Paccy. The game drive was way more fun than I expected! Sharing the experience with two other travelers made it even better our conversations and shared excitement with every animal sighting brought the tour to life. We capped it off with a peaceful lunch by a beautiful lake in the heart of the park. It felt less like a tour and more like a true adventure in nature.

3 of the Big 5 Spotted - I’ve been wanting to go on a safari for a while, and since I was already in Rwanda for a meeting this month, I finally got the chance to visit Akagera National Park. My guide, Didier, did not disappoint! I was lucky enough to see 3 of the Big 5, and I’m already planning to come back for the other two! What an incredible experience. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Rwanda!

Unforgettable Akagera Adventure with Iriza Tours! - This summer, my friends and I had the pleasure of experiencing Akagera with Iriza Tours, and it was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was handled with such professionalism and care. Our guide, Mugisha, was absolutely the best! He was not only knowledgeable but also super friendly and engaging, making sure we had the best possible experience throughout the trip. We saw so much wildlife and learned a ton about the park, all thanks to him. Ange, who handled our customer service, was also top-tier. Her communication was spot on—always prompt, clear, and super helpful. It really made a difference in planning our trip. I highly recommend Iriza Tours if you’re looking for an amazing experience in Rwanda. They truly go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly, and you can tell they care about their clients. Don’t miss out on the chance to explore with them!
