Your Trusted Partner in the Wild Heart of East Africa
Founded by people who love this land — guiding guests who want to experience it deeply.
Our Story
Who We Are
Founded in 2012 by Aron Mugisha and a passionate team of East African naturalists, Safari 2 Gorilla Tours has grown from a single-country gorilla trekking specialist into a multi-country adventure operator with a reputation for memorable journeys driven by conservation, cultural understanding and top-level service. Every guide on our team is a local — someone who grew up among these forests, savannahs and communities, and whose knowledge goes far beyond what any guidebook can teach.
