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!

An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was honestly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. The Uganda gorilla trekking experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, the guides were professional and helpful, and getting to see the gorillas in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable.
The value for money was excellent. Considering the organization, service, guides, transportation, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience itself, I felt that every part of the trip was worth it.
A special thank you to Chris, our tour operator, who made the entire experience even better. He was professional, friendly, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. You could really tell that he cared about making sure we had the best possible experience.
If you’re considering gorilla trekking in Uganda, I highly recommend it. It exceeded my expectations and is definitely an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end! 🦍🇺🇬

Well-organised and friendly
I went on a 1-day gorilla trekking tour from Kigali to Bwindi and back, which was a wonderful experience. Even though I booked at very short notice, everything went smoothly. CEO Ahmed and driver Chris were very friendly and absolutely reliable. I definitely recommend this tour operator.

Excellent communication and organization throughout the tour
I recently joined Beyond Travel for a 3-day trip to Nyungwe National Park, and it was an experience I'll always remember. From the moment the trip started, everything was well organized, which allowed me to simply relax and enjoy the journey.
Nyungwe itself is breathtaking, and having a knowledgeable guide made the experience even better. I really enjoyed learning about the rainforest, the wildlife, and the different places we visited. The canopy walk was definitely a highlight, and the scenery throughout the trip was absolutely stunning.
The transportation was comfortable, the itinerary was well planned, and the team was friendly, professional, and always happy to help. Their attention to detail made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable.
Thank you to Beyond Travel for making this such a memorable adventure. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to explore Nyungwe National Park, and I hope to travel with them again in the future.

A Safari to Remember Thanks to Beyond Travel and Sam
My friend and I recently joined a 3 day tour to Akagera National Park from Kigali with Beyond Travel, and we had an amazing time from start to finish.
Everything was well organized, which made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. Akagera is such a beautiful park, and seeing the wildlife up close was an unforgettable experience. Every game drive brought something different, and we loved every moment of it.
Our guide, Sam, really made the trip special. He wasn't just knowledgeable about the park and the animals, he was also genuinely kind, patient, and easy to talk to. He always made sure we were comfortable, shared interesting facts in a way that kept things fun and engaging, and did his best to help us spot as much wildlife as possible. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear that he truly enjoys what he does. Spending three days with him felt like exploring the park with a friend who knows it inside out.
I'd happily recommend Beyond Travel to anyone visiting Rwanda. Thanks again to Sam and the whole team for such a memorable experience!

Professional, friendly and unforgettable Safari Experience
I just completed an incredible 3-day tour to Queen Elizabeth National Park, including chimpanzee tracking, with Beyond Travel. Everything was well organized from start to finish.
A very special thank you to Ahmed, who handled the entire booking process while I was volunteering in Fort Portal. He was incredibly helpful, answered all of my questions promptly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. His excellent communication and support made the planning process completely stress-free.
A special thanks also to my guide, Chris, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Uganda's wildlife. He made every game drive and chimpanzee tracking experience enjoyable and memorable, and I learned so much throughout the trip.
I highly recommend Beyond Travel to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and well-organized safari experience in Uganda. Thank you, Ahmed and Chris, for making this an unforgettable adventure!
