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

Accommodating and efficient
We organised the trip via whatsapp then email, and regularly kept fluid and responsive communication with Aron, which was much appreciated.
Aron via phone and Barnice, who accompanied us during the nine day trip were accommodating to our demands, as we had to sometimes leave earlier or later than would be the norm, due to our own working arrangements. Also, Aron provided an internet router free of charge for the trip, I had asked for it and this proved very useful and necessary.
All the trip went smoothly, and we felt supported and listened at when discussing possibilities, alternatives and flexible arrangements, as most of the days we decided the daily plan the night before.
Barnice was a very good guide & travel companion, we (travelling as a couple) especially appreciated that he always gave very realistic transfer time estimates, and drove safely, in addition to this he was engaging and communicative while perfectly respecting privacy and resting times. We usually travel independently, but this time we chose (a first) to have our travel arranged via a tour operator, so with this background the flexibility and adaptability aspect was very important to us.
Our trip started with Lake Mburo, then Queen Elizabeth, Lake Bunyonyi and Mghahinga NP.

Great private taxi transfer services
Normally we travel independently but because of Covid-19 we try not to use public transport on this trip. Safari 2 Gorilla Tours offered us private taxi transfer service with good value for money multiple times: from lake Mburo to Rushaga, Rushaga to lake Bunyonyi, lake Bunyonyi to Kampala, Kampala to Jinja and Jinja to Entebbe.
Communication via WhatsApp to make arrangements went very smooth with Aron being quick and clear in his responses.
Aron drove us most of the time, but we also had a ride with driver Barnice. Every time they were in time, most of the times even early to make sure we could leave whenever we wanted. The service was more than just a private taxi service: Aron told us many interesting things about Uganda and let us taste some local food. That really made our trip more colourful and interesting.They know a lot of good places all over the country, like restaurants and accomodation. Although we organized our trip by ourselves, that was still an advantage. Above that, Aron uses his business in Uganda to help other Ugandans as well.
We would definitely recommend to travel with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours.
