Solo travel

I started my journey in Kenya in Mombasa, then flew to Rwanda and took a gorilla trekking trip, then travelled overland and stayed overnight in Rwanda, Uganda, until I returned back to Kenya. Then I flew to South Africa and travelled along the coast of Cape Town, Hermanus, Simons Town, Gansbaai and Stellenbosch. It was the trip of a lifetime.

About Me

I’m Irakoze Nice Luna I’m a joyful soul who loves God, nature, and all the beauty He created. I’m a university student studying for a Bachelor of Science in Travel and Tourism Management, and my dream is to become a tour guide so I can travel the world and share the wonders of creation with others. I love dancing, cooking, and exploring new places especially where I can feel God’s peace in the heart of Mother Nature. People say I’m the funny one in the group, always bringing laughter and good vibes. I’m also a Christian and a Bible content creator on Instagram, sharing God’s love, light, and truth with every post. Being around me means adventure, joy, deep conversations, and a sprinkle of heaven everywhere we go
