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!
12 Day Rwanda Uganda Gorillas Chimpanzees and Wildlife SafariI had a fantastic tour of Uganda and Rwanda with my driver and guide, Mutanda. Starting in Entebbe, within a few hours we were already in Murchison Falls National Park viewing wildlife and seeing seeing other gems of « The Pearl of Africa.». Mutanda was an excellent driver (and traffic was at times hairy, particularly around Kampala) as well as experienced primatologist and ornithologist. I was very impressed by the abundance of wildlife in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth NP’s. Our vehicle had a roof that could be raised, so that, on safari I had superb views and photo ops. En route, I got to see the Ruwenzori Mountains, a rhinoceros reserve, lakes, waterfalls and rich, green farmland. The hotels and meals were generally good quality, although I was always served much more food than I could eat. Similarly, Rwanda was a beautiful country. Highlights included Parc Nationale des Volcans, Nyungwe NP with its chimpanzees and other wildlife and the Tour de Rwanda as the race passed through Musanze. When I booked the tour I wasn’t too excited about seeing gorillas at Bwindi - I had already visited them years ago in the Congo. But this gorilla trek turned out to be my signature experience on the trip, proving that seeing gorillas in their natural habitat is a once in a lifetime experience, even the second time around.
Experience Uganda & Rwanda Gorillas, Chimps & Big 5 (Exclusively Private)It was a good tour: think the accommodation could be better though for the price we paid. Small fans in large rooms don't work in hot weather. The meals were good. The guides were good & kept everything rolling. Didn't have much luck with the game viewing (except for elephants & hippos) but the mountain gorilla & chimpanzee treks were amazing. And these 2 excursions are what made the trip so good. (These kind of trips can be hit & miss. )
