We modified this tour a bit but this was the closest match for this review. We're very glad we chose Safari to Gorilla Tours and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. After researching Safari Bookings to compare companies and itineraries we chose S2G because we liked the itinerary options, price point, and they have great reviews. Aron made it very easy to arrange and happily accommodated a change to fit our schedule. Our trip had 2 gorilla treks, one in Rwanda and one in Uganda, a safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Kazinga River Channel safari and the Mabamba Swamp to see the Shoebill stork, with mid-range accommodations (most were beautiful with stunning settings and views). They can provide high-end accommodation if preferred. Our 8 day tour began in Kigali, Rwanda and ended at the Entebbe airport in Uganda. Aron was incredibly responsive throughout the process and responded to my questions with good guidance and kindness. Our driver guide Obed was wonderful. He was warm, friendly, very knowledgeable, a former National Park Ranger, and made sure we had a very enjoyable and easy experience all along the way. We would gladly book with Aron and Safari to Gorilla Tours again. A couple of points that might be helpful to know is 1) to take more money for miscellaneous tips than you think you need. There are many helpful people along the way that you will want to tip and it makes a big difference in their lives, 2) our schedule was ambitious but if we had more time it would have been lovely to stay longer at some of the places and soak in the experience. Happy travels!

The trip of a lifetime! We fit so many great activities into such a short time. We saw everything there was to see (the big five and more!). The chimp and gorilla trekking was the highlight of the trip. We were able to spend so much time just feet away from these amazing creatures. The country was incredibly beautiful. Our guides Veronica and John gave an unparalleled experience with their professionalism and knowledge. By the end of the trip we considered them family. Mukisa Safaris is the way to go if you are traveling to Uganda!

Excellent, amazing, memorable. Solo female Travelor and had the best experience with this company. The owner Richard was terrific and very supportive throughout the whole booking process including packing recs. The driver John and Guide Mabel/Giraffe were the best.
