Everything went like said and they answered quickly to all the questions.
It was worthwhile to see the countryside in addition to Golden Moneys. Driver was great because he spoke good English and could tell about the society and things which interested me.

Trip of a lifetime
I was very satisfied with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours. Already when planning the trip, they were very helpful and adapted the tour to my wishes. I travelled solo and read a lot of good reviews about them before booking the tour with them and I was not disappointed. Martin my guide was great. There was a bit of a mix up with some of the bookings for the accommodations but he always managed to solve them quickly and smoothly. I learned a lot about the people, the different cultures, tribes and animals of Ruanda and Uganda, the two countries we visited. Martin always made sure that I was comfortable and that I had a good time during the trip. I definitely would recommend them if you want to explore Uganda and see the amazing diversity in animals and landscapes this country has to offer. It was honestly a trip of a lifetime (during which I fell in love with Uganda).

Great driver and great guide in one person Bosco
I was preparing my safari with Aron Mugisha and I must say that communication and suggestions, everything was very good. Based on places I wanted to visit he gave me Bosco who knows those places and also all the animals very well. He was very friendly and nothing I wanted was problem for him. I enjoyed very much and can recommend both guys.

An amazing introduction to the beauty and hospitality of Uganda!
We had an absolutely phenomenal trip to Uganda. We had short time due to work constraints and our group was all arriving at different times. Aaron was the best host, he was prompt, easy to communicate with and so engaging. He made the pick up seamless and all the transport seamless. We also got to unexpectedly squeeze in an extra excursion to the golden back monkeys after an epic day with the silver back gorillas which was so special! The accommodations were good and food was fine as well. We really enjoyed every moment of the trip with him and he was very easy to work with and allowed us to stop for photos and other random detours.

Seeing the Silver Backs was a once in a life time experience that Safari 2 Gorilla made happen!
Aron and team communicated clearly from the get-go and were very flexible accomodating our group. We had three different arrival times into Kigali, including a 2:00 AM arrival. Aron was on time to pick us up for each arrival, and had all the logistics including lodging and interim activities to keep us entertained.
We then drove into Uganda from Rwanda and stayed at Lake Buyoni for a quick rest before heading to see the gorillas and we arrived just in time for our trek. Seeing the gorillas was amazing, and quite the adventure to get to. Safari 2 Gorilla drove us to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest over some rough roads, but the drive was also beautiful.
We stayed at Bwindi, and Aron was to drop us off in Mbarara the following day. We didn't have any time constraints so Aron suggested we go to Mgahangi National Park to see the Golden Monkeys, which was considerably out of his way.
Overall, I would highly recommend Safari 2 Gorilla. Aron knows western uganda like the back of his hand, and is an excellent tour guide.

A wonderful experience.
Our group of 6 booked a gorilla trek with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours after being recommended to this company by a friend. We were not disappointed. Aron communicated with us regularly leading up to our trip and helped us plan the perfect trek. We were collected at our accommodation and looked after extremely well by our driver from pick up until drop off the following day. Aron planned our accommodation in the Bwindi Forest which was incredible. Our trek was an unforgettable experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gorilla 2 Safari Tours to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Uganda and all it has to offer.

Prompt, Flexible, and Trustworthy
This was my second experience with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours. As with the first, Aron was an incredibly prompt and clear communicator, going above and beyond in answering questions, which was greatly appreciated, and extremely friendly and welcoming throughout the process. He makes every step clear, and set us up for a truly unforgettable experience in Mgahinga tracking a family of gorillas, being flexible with our travel constraints throughout the organizing. On this trip, my only hesitation was the per person cost for full board at the Gorilla Trek Camp, a perfectly fine accommodation, but based on our experience just a bit pricey compared to options of the same quality in other parts of the country. As a whole, I do not hesitate to recommend this company for organizing your own excursions in southwest Uganda!
