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.

Magnificent, professional and what an experience and privilege to have Martin Twinomujuni as ou
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.

Incredible Trip
We chose Martin as our driver because, during our initial communication over WhatsApp, he came across as extremely knowledgeable and was excellent at answering all of our questions. I’m happy to say that our first impressions were absolutely correct.
Martin was an incredible driver who took great care of us throughout the seven days we spent together. He communicated clearly and consistently throughout the trip, helped us manage logistics, and made the entire journey feel seamless and stress-free.
Martin was incredibly informative, answering all the questions we had, from questions about the wildlife we saw to the history of the country. He even accompanied us on game drives and was often more informative than some of the guides we met. Along the way, he recommended fantastic places to stop and visit, which made the experience even more special.
The car was extremely comfortable and spacious, which made long drives very enjoyable. Martin was also incredibly friendly and professional, and we always felt completely safe travelling with him.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better driver or guide for our trip, and we would highly recommend Martin to anyone visiting Uganda.

Communication was excellent and the tour operator was very responsible.
The tour operator, Aron was extremely helpful and communicative during the travel arrangements and booking. He was very flexible and provided excellent suggestions. The tour was very well run, and the guide/driver, Martin was very knowledgeable and responsible. Everything was on time and very well organized. As a single woman travelling I was never worried or concerned. And the accommodations were spectacular! Overall, an amazing 5 days that will last with me forever!

Excellent and amazing
Meticulously planned and well curated tour. Extremely helpful people. Aron was always prompt to answer any queries over the many months that went into planning and changing of plans due to war. We discussed and added a trip to Rwenzori on my request on top of the 8days Gorilla trip and this was also seamlessly done. The hotels were top notch and food was great everywhere.
A special shout out to Mr Dan Byarugaba. The trip would not have been what it was without him. He was the driver, local guide and has now become a friend. He is extremely knowledgeable and went beyond his means to help me out on all requests I made. He also is an extremely proficient driver and his skills were at full display in the game drive where the car got stuck in mud. At least 3 other cars could not make out of the mud while I was in the park. Thanks Dan and God bless you.

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!
