An Unforgettable Gorilla & Chimpanzee Tracking Experience with Beyond Travel
I have just completed a wonderful 5-day chimpanzee and gorilla tracking tour with Beyond Travel, and I highly recommend them!
Ahmed was incredibly patient and flexible while organizing my itinerary around my volunteer work schedule, making sure I still had enough time to enjoy the safari before traveling back home. He answered all my questions and addressed every concern professionally and kindly.
Both Ahmed and my guide, Kasim, made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip and that I always felt safe and comfortable. The accommodations were excellent, especially Arcadia Cottages and Bweza, which provided a great experience after long adventure days.
Thank you, Beyond Travel, for such a memorable and well-organized trip. I truly enjoyed every moment!

Excellent and Safe tour with Beyond Travel!
When I contacted Beyond Travel, they patiently answered all my questions and offered suggestions on how to make the trip smoother. I'm very grateful to Beyond Travel for arranging the trip I wanted. I went to Chimpanzees, Gorillas, and Golden Monkey Trekking. Although my budget was limited, the accommodations they arranged exceeded my expectations, which touched me deeply. They even made sure I, with my Asian palate, got to eat Asian food – they specially arranged for me to go! I was so touched. The itinerary arranged by Beyond Travel exceeded my expectations, and I'm extremely satisfied. I hope everyone will have the opportunity to choose Beyond Travel in the future. If I ever have the chance to visit Uganda again, Beyond Travel will still be my only choice. Thank you so much to Beyond Travel for taking care of me and ensuring my safety throughout the trip. I highly recommend them!

A Safe, Well-Organized, and Memorable Uganda Tour
I just completed a 7-day tour in Uganda with Beyond Travel, visiting Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Bunyonyi, and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and it was truly an amazing experience.
Everything was very well organized, from the accommodations to the daily activities. Communication with Ahmed was excellent from day one and remained smooth throughout the entire trip. Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel safe and comfortable during the whole tour.
I highly recommend Beyond Travel to anyone planning to explore Uganda.
RIP off dishonest company
Save your money and book else where. Charlatans all nice and responsive before you travel. Than it all goes wrong!! We booked chimpanzees in kibale park instead we were taken to Kyamburu. This with less the half the cost of what we paid for. Our 2nd hotel was cancelled without any warning. Where we were at was substandard and not in the park as promised. Some USD800 difference in cost. Lies about water as we called the hotel. Our driver had received our itinerary 2 weeks prior to our arrival. We were always booked in the sub standard hotel and was never informed until we arrived at the wrong hotel. I think he thought we would not notice. We were supposed to go to ischika this didnt happen. They will sell you one itinerary than completely change it. Please look elsewhere and read reviews from other websites. I managed to find plenty of negative reviews once I researched properly. I have noticed quite a few of the bad reviews have disappeared. Uganda is a beautiful country please DO NOT book through beyond travel. I have included many screen shots as I have noticed the owner responds to reviews with lies. The difference in what we paid for and what we got is some USD2000 difference
2 night Gorilla Trek
We had a wonderful experience with Beyond Travel from start to finish. Our guide, Brighton, made the entire trip comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. He truly went above and beyond for us. Before our gorilla trek, I didn’t realize I needed long socks to cover the bottoms of my pants, and Brighton kindly lent me a pair. He also came prepared with masks for us when we learned masks were required around the gorillas. Those thoughtful details made a huge difference and showed how much he cared about making sure we were prepared and comfortable.
The lodges we stayed in were terrific. We weren’t quite sure what to expect from the “mid-range” accommodations, but they exceeded our expectations in every way. One of our favorite places was Acacia Cottage overlooking Lake Bunyonyi. The view of the 29 islands from up there was absolutely phenomenal and unforgettable.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was fantastic and truly once-in-a-lifetime. We also appreciated having the opportunity to meet the owner, who was genuinely eager to learn how he could improve the business and continue exceeding expectations. It was clear that the entire team truly cared and did everything they could to make our experience wonderful.
One thing future travelers should be aware of — and this is absolutely not the fault of Beyond Travel — is that the border crossing between Uganda and Rwanda can be somewhat slow, unclear, and chaotic. Unfortunately, we lost quite a bit of valuable time during the process on what was already a shorter two-night trekking experience. Hopefully others will have a smoother experience than we did. Looking back, I also wish I had purchased a multiple-entry Uganda visa, but that was my oversight, not theirs.
Overall, we were pleased with our trip and would highly recommend Beyond Travel to anyone considering an African adventure.
