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... Read more 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.

Our tour operators gave us a highly personalized trip and it was a very joyful trip together
We booked our trip through Nyumbu after receiving a very professional offer, which clearly laid out our trip details and expectations. From this point, the communication was extremely swift and good, all the way up to the trip. During the 5 day great apes safari, we developed a friendship beyond the normal tour operator approach. Living and Adams where service minded and fun to be with. We had many good laughs together. Not at least, the adventure and experiences were fantastic. We got really close encounters with the gorillas, our highlight of the trip. The chimp safary was also amazing. Not at least, we were very lucky with our time on the savannah, seeing leopard along the river and the tree-climbing lions. The hotels booked exceeded expectations, and particularly the Aardvark Safari Lodge which was magic.
I would highly recommend this company and trip to our friends.

Nyumbu Beyond Journeys stood by their name, make sure the Journeys is Beyond expectations
Everyone travels for so many reasons and at the end of their travel, what matters are the journey they went through, memories, satisfaction... I was so happy to chosen Nyumbu Beyond Journey (NBJ) and Living, who remembers whatever your wishes and make sure to achieve the same.
During my travel, happen to witness wonder journey of people from different regions, mountain trekking experiences to see Gorilla and especially Kyambura Gorge, the location takes you to cinematic experience.
Being a Photograher, time to spent on the location is so important, NBJ make sure this happened all the time.
Best wishes for Nyumbu Beyond Journey a successful venture!
