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!
