Perfect customizable tour for anyone in the Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya area
I was referred to Safari 2 Gorilla Tours by someone who had used them years ago. I wanted to make sure I was getting a reputable and legitimate guide for a trip that was to be a lifetime dream. I got just that and I’m so happy I did.
You can approach it several ways. Let them know some general things that you’d like to do as well as a length of a tour and they will customize something for you. I basically told them I wanted to see gorillas and anything else they thought was interesting. They made a great trip for me, mostly in Uganda, where I got to spend time with gorillas, chimpanzees, golden monkeys and so much more. I like to walk so, for example, they arranged a couple of additional walks with local guides to show me areas behind the scenes that I would never have found otherwise.
The accommodations were also good, locations were great and the scenery was spectacular.
I strongly suggest using them because they’ll give you a great tour and you won’t have to worry about anything. They take care of it all. Meals, transportation, lodging, entrance fees, etc. They know the area well and you’ll be well taken care of. Go for it and plan your adventure!

Professional, responsive, flexible
Safari 2 Gorilla Tours (S2GT) organized the Gorilla Habituation trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda) for me, including itinerary, transportation (from/to Kigali), Forest permit and accommodation. Aron of S2GT was my point of contact to discuss itinerary, cost, payment timing and linking me to my transportation driver (Dan). Aron provided clear information and instructions, replied promptly to my queries and worked with me on payment timing due to uncertain circumstances (worldwide oil disruption). Aron followed my trip, in the background, from start to finish. S2GT’s pricing was also the most affordable of three companies I contacted.
Dan, my driver, was fantastic - professional, safe, knowledgeable, client-focused and an interesting conversationalist.
The Gorilla Habitation trek was all and more than I had expected; simply beautiful, humbling, raw and adventurous. The Forest Rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority — Chris (lead), Gideon & Chris — and the trackers (Michael, Meti & Silver) were professional, protective, skillful and client-focused.
The accommodations (~35 minutes from the trek entrance) — Lake Mulehe Gorilla Lodge — was in a serene setting overlooking a lake with a volcano in the background. The staff were professional, courteous and client-focused. The grounds were simple, pleasant. The rooms were clean, simple, comfortable.
All in all, Safari 2 Gorilla Tours did all they could to ensure my trip was smooth and memorable. Truly an amazing experience.
Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Safari 2 Gorilla Tours for your East Africa experience.

We loved our tour and guide!
This was an excellent tour with a wonderful guide. Martin was a sweet, knowledgeable, funny, and extremely capable guide. We felt safe, and like we got the best of every single experience. Martin went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was once in a lifetime.
Aaron, the company owner, was wonderful to work with as we planned and changed the itinerary in the months in the lead of to our trip. Highly recommend this company! Martin drives an awesome car that we lovingly came to call avocado.
Safari 2 gorilla is an excellent tour operator, providing a fabulous experience with great commuicat
My partner and I did a 3 day Bwindi impenetrable forest gorilla trekking tour with Safari 2 Gorillas. From the outset, with enquiries, Aron was excellent with responsiveness, information, advice and tailoring the itinerary to our schedule
He was very responsive throughout, and greeted us at the airport on arrival. Aron was a very hospitable host & driver, and was very happy to answer all our questions. The tour itself was an incredible experience and we will cherish this forever. He also kindly organised a Batwa community cultural experience at the last minute as we had some extra time.
Overall it was a great experience, and we would highly recommend the tour to others travelling to the area.

Aron was everything you look for in a guide. Local knowledge, honest, kind, trust worthy, very safe.
I booked the 4 day safari with extra gorilla permit and my experience was nothing short of amazing. Aron my guide was a proud local man who shared a lot of information on local traditions, culture, lifestyle and the history of Uganda. The village experience is an absolute must.
I leave this short tour with an understanding of the history in both Uganda and Rwanda, an insight into the culture in both countries and of course incredible memories of the time I spent with the gorillas, nothing compares.

Highly professional company, best guide and perfectly organized tour
I don't even know where to begin. These two weeks with Safari2Gorilla Tours were truly the trip of a lifetime - although certainly not my last with them.
From the very first contact, everything was seamless and professional. Communication with Aron was excellent; he has a calm, friendly, and professional manner that immediately put me at ease. The entire process, from the initial inquiry and itinerary planning to payment and final arrangements, was smooth and stress-free.
As a woman traveling solo, feeling comfortable and safe is incredibly important to me, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My guide, Martin, was absolutely outstanding. He was calm, professional, organized, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. His sense of humor, reliability, and deep understanding of the places we visited made every day special. He was always punctual, attentive, and seemed to think of everything before I even had to ask.
For two weeks, I was able to completely switch off and simply enjoy the adventure because Martin took care of every detail. That level of trust and peace of mind is priceless.
Thank you so much, Aron and Martin, for creating such an unforgettable experience. This was hands down the best trip I've ever taken, and I can't wait to come back for more!
