Amazing knowledge of the area
The vast plains of East Africa delivered a lifetime of memories on this impeccably orchestrated journey. From the initial bespoke planning stages to the flawless internal logistics, every detail was handled with absolute precision and care.The true magic, however, came alive during the game drives. Guided by an expert with an astonishingly sharp instinct for wildlife tracking, the savanna revealed its greatest treasures, offering breathtaking, intimate encounters with the legendary Big Five. Combined with the deeply moving, genuine warmth of local hospitality, this Tanzanian adventure surpassed every imagination. Serengeti Smiles is an absolute triumph, and securing Domi as a guide is essential.

Fantastic experience
Luther was a fantastic tour guide throughout our 4-day safari. We felt we had such a unique experience, getting to see the wildlife up close and personal. The experience was excellent for the price and the camping experience made the experience even more special. Would highly recommend the 4-day camping experience!

Awesome Tour Ooerator in Tanzania
Safari in Africa has been on our bucket list for a long time and we lucked our with this travel company.
Patricia was excellent from arranging our custom package to ensuring seemless travel within Tanzania. Our guide Domi went above and beyond in making our trip a memorable experience. His knowledge on the parks and keen sense during game drives were instrumental in getting us multiple views of the big 5. We loved overall hospitality of Tanzania. A must visit and choose Serengity Smiles and request for Domi!

A beautifully planned family adventure in Rwanda
My husband, our son and I spent 7 days travelling around Rwanda with Iriza Tours & Safaris, and we’re so glad we finally made the trip happen.
We started in Akagera National Park and spent two nights at Karenge Bush Camp. We’d been on safari in Botswana a couple of years ago, so naturally we found ourselves comparing the two. Botswana definitely has more wildlife, but Akagera has its own charm. Every game drive kept us looking out the windows because you never knew what would appear next. On our first day we managed to see three of the Big Five, and by the second morning we’d found the remaining two, so we were pretty excited to tick off the full Big Five. We also did a boat cruise on Lake Ihema, which was a lovely change from the game drives. Seeing hippos, crocodiles and so many birds from the water gave us a completely different perspective of the park.
After that we headed north to Volcanoes National Park, where we stayed three nights at Ingagi Park View Lodge. I hadn’t expected the weather to be so different. It was much cooler than Akagera, and waking up to mist covering the mountains each morning was beautiful.
The gorilla trek was the reason we booked this trip, and it definitely lived up to everything we’d heard. Seeing the gorillas in the wild is one of those experiences that’s hard to put into words. We also did the Golden Monkey trek, which ended up being so much fun. They’re incredibly quick, playful and impossible to stop watching.
We had a free day between the two treks, which turned out to be a good idea because our legs definitely appreciated the break. We spent that day visiting the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village instead. It was nice to slow the pace a little and learn more about the local culture.
Our last stop was Nyungwe National Park for two nights. If I had to pick one place where I wished we’d stayed longer, it would be Nyungwe. My son and I were excited about the zipline from the moment we booked the trip, and it didn’t disappoint. My husband chose the tea plantation experience while we were up in the trees, and later we all did the canopy walkway together. Walking above the rainforest was probably one of the biggest surprises of the whole holiday.
Before heading back to Kigali for our flight home the next morning, we went chimpanzee trekking. It was the perfect way to finish the trip. We also spotted several other monkey species in Nyungwe, and by the end of the week we’d seen Rwanda’s three iconic primates: mountain gorillas, golden monkeys and chimpanzees. Looking back, that’s something we’re really proud to have experienced in just one trip.
A big thank you to our guide, Pacific. Spending a week together meant we got to know each other well, and he made the long drives enjoyable with stories about Rwanda and plenty of local knowledge. He never rushed us, was always happy to stop whenever we wanted photos, and made sure everything ran smoothly without it ever feeling overly planned.
Everything flowed really well from one destination to the next, and we never had to think about the logistics. We could just enjoy the trip.
If Rwanda has been on your list for a while, I’d absolutely recommend going. It’s a beautiful country, every park offers something completely different, and we’re really happy we chose Iriza Tours & Safaris to organise it for us.

What an unforgettable experience!
This tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We were lucky to have Stephen as our guide, and thanks to his knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm, we were able to see all the animals we hoped to see. He always knew where to go and shared fascinating information about the wildlife, nature, and local culture throughout the journey.
During our trip, we visited the Masai Mara National Reserve, a Maasai village, Amboseli National Park, and Lake Nakuru National Park. Every destination was breathtaking and offered unique experiences and incredible wildlife sightings.
This was truly one of the best experiences of our lives, and we cannot recommend Jungleroam enough. A special thank you to Stephen for being such an outstanding guide, mentor, and companion during these six unforgettable days. Your passion and dedication made our safari even more special.
We will definitely come back and travel with Jungleroam again. Highly recommended!
