Great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.
We spent seven fabulous days with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours in December 2024, and we recommend their services to all travellers wanting to see the wild treasures of East Africa.
Booking the tour online was simple. The company is highly rated, all their charges are clearly displayed, explained and fair, and their response times are remarkably fast.
We felt secure and confident throughout the booking process, and in specifying special dietary requirements.
Our guide for the adventure, Aron, is a wonderful travelling companion.
Knowledgeable, kind and willing to go that extra mile to make our trip unforgettable, Aron immediately made us feel safe and informed.
The 4x4 vehicle for our tour was remarkably comfortable - which was appreciated during long legs of the journey - and the roof opens to give you amazing views and a great vantage spot for taking photos.
We saw all the animals we'd hoped to see on the tour, much of which was down to... Read more Aron. He's obviously well-liked and respected in the guiding community, and is linked into a network that shares information on locations of interesting creatures.
Aron was also able to get us into some incredible spots to take photos – he's confident behind the wheel, and knows how to a good angle for that perfect snap.
The highlight of our tour was our trip to see the gorillas in Uganda. We got closer than we ever expected, and the tour was fun and well organised.
We were heartened that Aron joined us for the gorilla trek – not because it was part of his job, buy because he loves wildlife and didn't want to miss an opportunity to get close to some of nature's greatest marvels.
As Aron was as enthusiastic as us about the experiences we were having, it made the trip even more exciting!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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... Read more 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!!

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.
