An Unforgettable East Africa Experience with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours
Planning a trip to East Africa initially felt overwhelming, but everything changed once I connected with Aron at Safari 2 Gorilla Tours. From our very first interaction, he made the entire process feel effortless. Aron was incredibly responsive—no question was too small, and every personalized request, from itinerary tweaks to adding new destinations, was met not only with enthusiasm but with thoughtful suggestions that truly elevated our experience.
Flying into Rwanda turned out to be an unexpected highlight. We were able to immerse ourselves in the country’s rich and complex history, take in its stunning landscapes and mountain views, and ease into the rhythm of the region before beginning our trekking adventure in Uganda.
Once in Uganda, Aron seamlessly handed us off to his colleague Danny—and we absolutely adored him. Danny took exceptional care of us every step of the way. He anticipated our needs, fulfilled our wants, and even surprised us with thoughtful touches we didn’t know we needed. His knowledge was astounding—over the course of several days and countless questions, we only managed to stump him once!
This trip was not only well-priced but delivered incredible value. Aron and Danny went above and beyond to ensure our journey was smooth, enriching, and unforgettable.
Would I recommend Safari 2 Gorilla Tours? Without hesitation—ABSOLUTELY!

Incredible Gorilla Trekking and Classic African Wildlife Experience
My wife and I had an incredible 12-day tour that featured astounding wildlife, exceptional food and service, and a highly personalized itinerary. The tour was extremely customizable, as Aron helped craft the perfect trip that encompassed everything we wanted to see and do. The gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda as well as Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda were our highlights and among the greatest wildlife experiences we've ever had--extremely close encounters with continual chances for stunning photos and videos. Chimpanzee trekking, golden monkey trekking, and numerous safaris provided ample opportunity to see everything from elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, lions, rhinos, and much more. Martin was the best guide possible, and we'd highly recommend asking for him!

Awsome
This was an amazing experience tinder the gorilla in its own habitat. All the people that works with this made by day, a very kind man picked me up in the morning and drove me back also. Charged pictures with me as well. The crew at the gorilla camp, was processional and the helped us where to stand for good pictures. Just an amazing day

Magnificent, professional and what an experience and privilege to have Martin Twinomujuni as our tour guide. Everything went smoothly and Martin helped make our journey so special. He really is a fantastic guide and together with Aron Mugisha who arrange and book our travel it was a pleasure, and I can gladly say that our experience cannot be described as it was only special and many thanks to Aron and Martin who made this bucket list experience possible and a pleasure and a once in a lifetime experience.
Before we arrive at Kigale, Aron give us very clear instructions and guidance via email and whatsup. The communication is excellent. When we arived at Kigale, borth Martin and Aron awaited us with big smiles and made us feel welcome and safe.
I would without any doubt definitely recommend Martin and Aron to any person who want to do the Gorilla, Uganda and East Africa Tours. They are very professional, excellent and a pleasure to have a tour guides.

Highlight of our trip
This company is amazing! I interacted with Aron and I think he might be the kindest man I’ve ever met. Aron took us Gorilla Trekking which was the highlight of our trip. Don’t leave Uganda without gorilla trekking!! It was an incredible experience. I was a foot away from a baby gorilla at one point and could have watched the animals for hours! Aron also gave us some great recommendations of places to visit. We also went on a safari in Queen Elizabeth National park and saw every animal in The Lion King and then some. Tip: go super early in the morning or late at night to see the lion, that’s when they’re out hunting. Seeing African elephants was such a peaceful experience. You can tell he really loves his country and wants to share it with the world. He is so knowledgeable about the area and knows the best spots to stop for pictures as well. The prices are also very reasonable compared to other places. He works with you to build an itinerary that’s right for your budget and timeframe. This tour group went out of their way to make sure my husband and I were comfortable through the whole journey and I really can’t praise them enough!!

Incredible experience and better service
Aron took care of us from our inquiry about the gorilla trekking to the very end. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything and was very prompt when responding to our questions over WhatsApp. He made us feel very comfortable the whole way through. We were taken Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, apparently this one is the hidden gem. We found the family in an hour and a half hour to stay with them for 40 minutes or so. But the whole experience was incredible. We got lucky and saw a Golden Monkey as well!

Amazing guide and driver!
Aron is friendly, professional, and timely. He has driven me many times in Uganda with no issues. I also recommended him to my friends, who he took gorilla trekking. Everything went smoothly and they had a wonderful time!

Safari 2 Gorilla provided a great overview of a fascinating country
I did the 8 day tour including Murchison and Kidepo Valley. Martin guided me the whole time. I have been in Uganda several times before and I chose this tour for the enormous variety (landscapes, culture and wildlife) all at a reasonable price. Food was good, accommodations were comfortable and there was always something interesting around the next corner. I highly recommend this tour.

Gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys
S2G Tours & Travels Rwanda Gorillas Was an excellent tour operator. The guide/driver Dan was with me the entire eight day trip. He was friendly and helpful and professional and his driving was always safe and careful. He assisted me in going through immigration at the Rwanda/ Uganda border. We were supposed to see gorillas in DRC but with consultation with Aron, the coordinator, it was decided that with the rebels overrunning Goma and getting close to the border, we shouldn’t take a chance of crossing into DRC. Aron was very involved in rearranging the itinerary on the fly, changing to see the gorillas in Uganda instead of DRC and going to a beautiful hotel on a lake with many islands. I saw everything that was promised just not as set out initially but as they say, this is Africa and you must be flexible and adaptable and not rigid and adamant. We spent an hour with a group of mountain gorillas. They were gentle and habitualised to humans. It was magical. Overall it was an excellent eight day tour and S2G Tours & Travels Rwanda provided everything that I wanted.
