Amazing bunch of young men!
Living and Adam were both excellent guides. They knew all the roads very well, where to stop for great food. I was part of a group of 4 people and we never stopped laughing for the few days we were with them.
If you’re worried about the rainy season in mid to late October, don’t worry. It would rain maybe an hour at most in the late afternoon and clear up.
More than a journey!
My small group of 4 started in Washington DC and traveled to Kigali, where we met our NBJ guides for the gorilla trek in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Our trip included travel from Kigali to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Center, a beautiful mountain lodge, the gorilla trek, a tour of a Pygmy village, an island cottage, and the Rwanda Genocide Memorial. All of this in just three days. The guides took care of every important detail - lodging, transportation, food, water, fun, and learning. They even organized a birthday celebration at our lodge. I highly recommend Nyumbu Beyond Journeys for any African experience!

Fun, bespoke trip which included everything we want for our dream holiday.
We had the best experiences with Nyumbu Beyond Journeys. They tailored the trip to include everything we wanted. We were 3 women (40 years old) looking to go gorilla trekking. The amazing guides (Living and Adam) met us at the airport at 2:00am and took us to our accommodation. They made sure before travelled we had a clear packing list and expectation of the trip. Everything was well planned and detailed oriented. The Gorilla Leisure Lodge we stayed in near the gorilla trekking was excellent with a chef that prepared wonderful meals for individual needs. After the trek they prepared a surprise picnic. They were knowledgable and helped us have our dream vacation. We will use this company again and recommend it to friends.

Nyumbu Beyond Journeys made our short trip feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience
We started our 3-day tour with a pickup at the airport in Kigali, and from that moment on, everything ran smoothly thanks to Nyumbu Beyond Journeys. The team was extremely professional and welcoming — our guide Living and driver Adam made us feel comfortable, informed, and cared for throughout the trip.
Crossing into Uganda was effortless with their support, and all the logistics (permits, accommodations, meals, etc.) were handled flawlessly. The gorilla trekking itself was absolutely surreal — being so close to these incredible animals in the wild is something I’ll never forget.
Our hotel on Sharp Island was a highlight — peaceful, scenic, and a perfect place to recharge after the trek. The entire tour felt safe, well-paced, and thoughtfully curated.
I highly recommend Nyumbu Beyond Journeys if you’re looking for a reliable and well-organized experience that lets you fully enjoy the beauty of East Africa without the stress.

Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking and Perfect Service from Start to Finish
Our gorilla trekking adventure with Nyumbu Beyond Journeys was simply unforgettable. From the first contact, communication was clear, timely, and professional. Every step of the journey was well organized, and we felt supported the entire time.
Our tour guide, Living, was outstanding — knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation. He made the entire experience feel special and safe. Our driver, Adam, was also fantastic: always punctual, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the long drives.
The gorilla trekking itself was beyond words. Getting to see these majestic animals in their natural habitat is a life-changing experience, and thanks to Nyumbu, we could focus entirely on the moment — everything else was taken care of.
We also fell in love with the hotel in Sharp Island — peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to relax after the trek.
Nyumbu Beyond Journeys truly went above and beyond in terms of service, reliability, and overall value. We can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to explore Uganda in a meaningful and well-organized way.
