Excellent service and people to help explore East Africa
Highly recommend Safari 2 Gorillas and my guide Martin. As a last minute trip to Rwanda/Uganda, I reached out to Aron to plan things on very short notice. The communication with Aron was great and he helped sort everything out with ease. My guide/driver Martin was the best. He was very knowledgable about everything and was able to answer any questions about Uganda/Rwanda that I had. Not to mention being an expert driver both on highway and offroad/safaris! After having a great time on the original 7 day trip, I decided to extend another 4 days which Aron and Martin planned within hours. Can't recommend Martin and Safari 2 Gorillas more! Will definitely use them again when I return someday. Thank you!

Uncomplicated, flexible and good people - would choose them again! :)
we, a group of 4 friends started into the new year 2023 with the gorillas - it was an amazing experience to stand half a metre next to a silverback and look into his eyes... in general, we could follow the gorilla family in Mgahinga Nationalpark for about 1 hour. before it took us about 1 hour to "find" them, but there are some trackers, who stay tuned where they move around, that it it easier!
we loved the way of organizing everything with Aron, it was uncomplicated, flexible and the program based on our wishes. also the price was really fair!!
we did the 1 day gorilla trekking and afterwards 1 day safari in Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark, this was the other great experience - included 2 game drives, with visiting a salt lake and a boat trip in Kazinga Channel, where we could see many elephants, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, etc.
all in all we are very happy, that we have chosen Aron and his company and want to thank him one more time again for this wonderful 2 days <3

Correct, professional and very kind
The gorilla tracking was a once in a lifetime expierience. We had nice and professional ranger-guides and had an interesting and good breefing before the start. We were a small group of 4 guests and 2 guides, so we all had the oportunity to come very close to the gorillas and to see and enjoy everiting. The guides were helpfull and gave us a lot of information.
A gorilla tracking is quite expensive, but it was worth every penny.

Aron and the team was very passionate to provide me the best experience!
It was the best tour I have participated along my travels. The guides wanted to make sure I have the best experience, helped by easy communication, flexibility about activities and punctuality.
In case Aron you see it, thanks a lot for the experience!

Reliable and friendly tour operator
I was very satisfied with the Gorilla Trekking Experience. It was a true once in a lifetime experience.
With Safari 2 Gorilla Tours Ltd I especially liked the fast and reliable communication with Aron who usually answers the same day when you ask questions via WhatsApp or Email. The money for the Gorilla-Trekking could easily be paid via MTN money transfer, however also bank transfer or cash payment would have been possible. Aron picked me up from my hotel at Lake Bunyonyi and drove me all the way to Mgahinga National Park. In the National Park they have their own guides. So Aron and his colleagues waited for me outside until the Trekking was over and then drove me back to Lake Bunyonyi.

great experience
my experience with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours was great.
from the start, Aron was available for my questions, he really adapted the trip to my requests & did as much price improvements as i needed. he was flexible when i decided to add more locations to my trip. thank you, Aron, for your professionalism.
everything went smooth, starting with the picking up, continuing with the drive around Uganda & ending with the drive back & drop off on time. many thanks to my driver Barnice who was wonderful. i spent most of my 5-day trip with him & felt safe at all times being his passenger. he knows Uganda pretty well, it never got boring during the drive, because he was willing to answer all my questions & share any interesting facts. he took good care of me during the whole trip.
thanks S2GT for introducing me to your beautiful country! xoxo

Two-Day Akagera Game Drive
We had a wonderful time on our two-day Akagera trip we booked with Safari2GorilllaTours!! We were picked up promptly the first morning, at our accommodations in Kigali, by our guide Martin. Upon arrival at Akagera, we stopped for lunch at the Akagera Game Lodge, and checked in to our rooms. We then left for an afternoon boat tour of Lake Ihema, where we saw many hippos, crocodiles, birds, and elephants! We then went on a short game drive around the southern end of the park, where we saw more elephants, hippos, warthogs, many many zebras and other animals. We returned to the lodge for our buffet dinner (delicious grilled meats!), pre-ordered our sack lunches for the next day's drive, and settled in to our very comfortable air-conditioned rooms, with wonderful amenities and views of Lake Ihema.
The next morning, we had breakfast from the very large buffet offered, picked up our lunches, and were off by 6:30 a.m. We toured most of the day, seeing large groups of animals, including zebras, waterbucks, impalas,cape bufffalos, elephants (including a very large group coming to the water to drink!), giraffes, warthogs, iguanas, and many varieties of birds. We didn't expect to see the rhinos or lions, as they are very shy and that was okay, just knowing they were out there somewhere was thrilling!
We so enjoyed this tour, even the "African Massage" of the rough roads in the park. We were returned to Kigali in plenty of time for dinner out.
Highly recommend Safari2GorillaTours!! Thank you, Aaron and Martin!
