Personal Experience

S

I’m Smith Akiriyo, the lead guide and team leader here at Africa Wildlife Safari. Over the past four years, I’ve had the amazing chance to guide our guests through the stunning landscapes of Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. It’s my job to make sure every safari we lead turns into an extraordinary adventure that leaves our clients with big smiles and unforgettable memories.

We’re all about creating experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Whether you’re looking to explore the vast savannahs, get up close with the Big Five, or trek through the forests to see the gorillas, I’m here to make sure your safari feels like more than just a trip. It’s about making East Africa feel like a part of your adventurous spirit, maybe even a second home.

One of the things I love most is helping our guests become champions for gorilla conservation after they’ve experienced gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda. It’s not just about seeing these incredible animals; it’s about understanding them and contributing to their preservation. So, whether you’re here for the gorillas, the landscapes, or the culture, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
