Very professional company. You can trust 100% on them. Great guides and cars. They know what they do
Just one word: Excellent.
Very experienced company with experienced guides and comfortable & save vehicles.
They personalize the route depending on the month of the year, as animals are not always in the same park. They move during the year.

Amazing 6-days safari experience
We did 6 days-safari trip and it was so much more than expected. We visited Masaai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Tsavo national parks. We also did a day hike to Mt.Longonot. We were picked up from the airport and dropped-off at Diani beach. It was easy to make a reservation. They adapted the plan to our wishes and answered all our questions. During Covid-19 uncertain times, they were flexible with cancellation and deposit return. Luckily all went smoothly :) This was our 1st safari experience and we could not have imagined a better one. Our driver Mutemi was very friendly and nice and excellent in animal spotting. He really knows the parks well and knows where to drive to have the best experience. We had whole day Massai Mara where concentration of animals is just stunning. Then we continued to Laka Naivasha to have some lake animals experience (birds and hippos). The next day we hiked Mt.Longonot with another great guide Geoffrey. It was a 6h hike and really nice views, we also encountered quite some animals. For those who love hiking, there is s possibility to camp overnight inside the crater. Then we continued to Amboseli where we did evening and morning game ride. It is a park with amazing view of Mt.Kilimanjaro and of course countless elephants. Next day was for Tsavo which we loved as well. It is not so full of animals but the scenery is totally different than in other parks so we recommend it also. We saw all possible animals, you name it. I checked Google before to see which animals to expect and I never expected to see almost all of the animals on the list (except rhino). We saw lions in every park and cheeta and much more... We choose cheaper accomodation options and were surprised at what we actually got. In Massai mara we stayed in a tent (eco camp) close to the entrance of the park. The rest were lodges and a guest house in lake Naivasha with a lake view. Lodge in Amboseli was stunning, with Masai people dancing at the fire in the evening and the pool overlooking Kilimanjaro. Lodge in Tsavo was located right at the park fence so animals would come in front of the lodge (elephants,... even lions occasionally.) Food was the best in Tsavo but we enjoyed the food everywhere. We gained some weight so they did feed us well ;) In camps it's sell service and elsewhere you can choose usually from 2 different options. Roads are quite ok, the ones leading to parks usually not in great condition and truck drivers are quite crazy. So I would not recommend driving alone but having a professional guide. We did this trip alone, so it was us and the driver and it was great, would do it again the same way. Due to Covid there were very few tourists and many times we were the only guests. I totally recommend this agency.

Mind blowing experience
Axis Safari were amazing. From the get go, pick up from airport was so smooth they were there waiting for us, carried our bags and they had the utmost manners.
Following this we proceeded to a game drive. Wow, the tour guide brought us right up to the animals. Amazing experience.
Every day was full of variety and experienced something different.
The local village and Masa mari again was mind blowing.
Our tour guide Mr. Khalifa made the trip. He was so full of knowledge, a gentleman. Let us use his Hotspot too. Full of information.
Accomdation was great and food was too.
Overall fantastic value for money.
I couldn't reccomend enough. You will not be disappointed.

10 out of 10 recommend Netherken
We had a great tour, we were concerned coming with the pandemic but it was great. Mahmud was an awesome guide, he found the big 5 and was great at finding and pointing out animals, stopping whenever we wanted and making sure we saw everything we came to see. He was friendly, professional and truly the nicest guy. The hotels were great and the whole tour was put together very well, it was very easy for us and we had a great time. We absolutely recommend this company for your Safari.

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.

Team of scammers
Not at all professional. Reservation not respected, calls not answered by the agency. The agency forced us to stay in an unwanted place and refused any changes on the grounds that the lodge does not want to refund the cost of the room. A whole day lost and no valid compensation given from the agency. In short, I do not recommend at all! They are thieves and liars.

Great Customer service, communication & following ups to ensure we had the best.
Superb communication, the service was great beyond our expectations and I will be able to use the agency more often and even refer to other people.
