Reliable tour operator for your unforgettable Uganda&Rwanda safari, would 100% book again
We had an absolutely amazing 8-day safari through Uganda and Rwanda, visiting some incredible places including Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi and Volcanoes National Park. From wildlife and chimpanzee habituation to the gorilla and golden monkey treks, the whole experience was truly unforgettable.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Balaam. He was extremely professional, always on time, very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and, most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviour. Thanks to his experience and excellent eye for wildlife, we were able to witness some truly memorable sightings. He always made an effort to find the best possible opportunities for us and made sure we were enjoying every part of the safari. His positive attitude and professionalism made us feel completely comfortable throughout the trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
I also want to highlight our communication before the safari with Ahmed, who was excellent from the very beginning. He was professional, responsive and patient, answering all of our questions before the trip and making sure we had all the information we needed. The booking process was smooth and well organised, which gave us confidence that everything was taken care of.
Overall, this was an incredible experience that we will remember for a very long time. Uganda and Rwanda exceeded our expectations, and having such a professional and knowledgeable team made the whole trip even better.
A special thank you to Balaam and Ahmed, we would absolutely recommend them and would happily travel with them again!
Meddy’s knowlege, skill and commitment to guests made our experience highly valuable
Our experience was Beyond Travel was extremely positive. Due to our travel plans we were not able to confirm our safari until very last minute and Meddy and the team were committed to making it work for us. We did 3 days gorilla and chimpanzees tracking and it suited our plans best. Accomodation and food delivery were all impressive. This was a once in a lifetime experience. We also had issues with our Visa for Uganda and the team were able to expedite approval process for us. Highly recommend!
Best tour experience
I did the 3 day gorilla trek and it was one of the best experiences ever. From day one beyond travel was accommodating and responsive. The booking experience was very smooth and easy with the team being very understanding. The actual tour itself was absolutely incredible. Everything was thought of the accommodations were sensational. Meddy’s driving was very safe and he was very informative answering any questions or queries we had. This one in a life time trip was truly an amazing experience thanks to beyond travel. I couldn’t recommend enough.
Exceptional service, unforgettable experience, once in a lifetime with a great guide.
Our 3 day gorilla trek tour with Beyond Travel was such an amazing trip. Ahmed was very attentive and willing to assist with any questions we had from the moment we reached out about the tour. His communication and organisation were perfect.
Our guide/driver Noah was such a good guide and a pleasure to travel with for 3 days. Always laughing, sharing stories and information. Nothing was too big of an ask for him.
The tour itself was one of the most authentic and pure experiences we have ever encountered in our travels. From driving through local regions in Rwanda and Uganda. Taking in the everyday life of locals to the gorilla experience itself. Nothing is staged, you trek in the jungle to find your groups assigned gorilla family. Your guide can inform the trekking rangers whether you want a short, intermediate or long trek to the gorillas. We chose intermediate and were trekking for an hour. Once found you have one hour and have to wear a face mask.
Overall a wonderful experience. Before the tour we only thought of Uganda to see gorillas. After the tour, we realise there is so much more to see in Uganda and it would be wonderful to return and do a longer tour with Beyond Travel.
Stress Free All Inclusive Experience
I had an absolutely wonderful experience on my gorilla trekking tour (starting from Kigali to Bwindi and back with a 1 night at Lake Bunyoni). From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, safe, responsive, and so warm and welcoming. As a solo female traveler, feeling safe and well looked after was especially important to me, and I always felt that I was in very capable hands with my excellent driver, Chris. He’s the best.
Communication was quick and easy throughout via WhatsApp, which made the whole experience stress free. My permit was booked almost immediately and everything relating to it was handled.
A special highlight was Milele Lodge at Lake Bunyonyi. It was absolutely stunning! And the staff and food there were unbelievably good. I was even given the option to add an overnight stay at the last minute, which was convenient and I also got to choose my accommodation from some great options. I also appreciated being given the choice between staying at Lake Bunyonyi or closer to Bwindi in the forest, allowing me to tailor the trip to what suited me best.
The entire experience was seamless, flexible, and well organized- although my only suggestion would be to ensure there are some snacks or a light lunch available to take on the trek since waiting to have lunch at the lodge afterward takes several hours. I would highly recommend this gorilla trekking tour, especially to other solo travelers looking for a safe, flexible, and professional experience.
Gorilla Trekking was a dream of mine and Beyond Travel made it come true. Thank you!
