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.

An unforgettable Uganda adventure with gorillas and chimpanzees
We had an amazing experience in Uganda thanks to Beyond travel . Everything was very well organized from start to finish, making our trip completely stress-free.
We enjoyed chimpanzee tracking, gorilla trekking, and a half-day game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Each activity was unique and unforgettable specially Seeing the gorillas in their natural habitat was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, while the chimpanzee tracking was equally exciting and rewarding.
Our guide was professional and arrangeant. The entire trip exceeded our expectations.
We highly recommend Beyond travel to anyone planning a safari in Uganda
Thank you for creating such wonderful memories!

Unforgettable gorilla trek
We booked a 3-day gorilla trek with Beyond Travel and had an amazing experience. Communication during planning was very good, our guide was always on time, and both the trek and the accommodation were fantastic. Our guide also went out of his way with the little things, like helping me buy coffee at a local store.
The standout moment was a medical situation in a remote area. Our guide found a doctor and brought them to us, and it was covered by insurance. We were really grateful for that care.
The one area for improvement is clarity on the ground. Our itinerary clearly listed what was included, but on the trip we'd like to be able to trust our guide to take us to those things without checking the PDF all the time. A couple of times, like the last day's activity and a lunch that was supposed to be included, we had to raise it ourselves, and we weren't sure who was covering the medical costs. Nothing that spoiled the trip, but a quick "here's what's included and who's paying for what" from the team would make it a perfect 5. Still highly recommended.
