Trip of a lifetime – far beyond expectations
My gorilla and chimpanzee tracking experience with Beyond Travel was absolutely outstanding and truly beyond expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, from permits and logistics to accommodations and daily planning.
The guides were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of wildlife, making the experience safe, ethical, and unforgettable. Seeing gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Beyond Travel handled every detail flawlessly.
I highly recommend Beyond Travel to anyone looking for a high-quality, well-run, and unforgettable primate safari.

Excellent ambassadors for the Pearl of Africa!
Beyond Travel gave me an excellent experience, both leading up to and during my trip to Uganda. They were very flexible and willing to accommodate custom changes to the itinerary, and were friendly and knowledgeable. They arranged for a pickup in Kigali, along with an onward bus ticket after the tour. Ahmed, the owner of the company, was communicative throughout the process, and I appreciated him taking the time to meet with me in person during the tour to seek feedback on the experience. Chris, the gentleman who drove me around, was also friendly and helpful.
As for the tour itself, I have never seen such beautiful landscapes. Lake Bunyonyi is beautiful, as was Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. In addition, the wildlife experiences were second to none, from the lively chimpanzees to the gorillas at rest, to the monkey families in the Bigodi swamp. The lodges were all top-notch, with attentive staff and comfortable rooms.
The tour is an excellent value. Thanks to Beyond Travel, I was able to experience gorilla trekking and chimpanzee trekking at an affordable rate. I highly recommend Beyond Travel.

An Unforgettable Gorilla & Chimpanzee Tracking Experience with Beyond Travel
I have just completed a wonderful 5-day chimpanzee and gorilla tracking tour with Beyond Travel, and I highly recommend them!
Ahmed was incredibly patient and flexible while organizing my itinerary around my volunteer work schedule, making sure I still had enough time to enjoy the safari before traveling back home. He answered all my questions and addressed every concern professionally and kindly.
Both Ahmed and my guide, Kasim, made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip and that I always felt safe and comfortable. The accommodations were excellent, especially Arcadia Cottages and Bweza, which provided a great experience after long adventure days.
Thank you, Beyond Travel, for such a memorable and well-organized trip. I truly enjoyed every moment!

A Safe, Well-Organized, and Memorable Uganda Tour
I just completed a 7-day tour in Uganda with Beyond Travel, visiting Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Bunyonyi, and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and it was truly an amazing experience.
Everything was very well organized, from the accommodations to the daily activities. Communication with Ahmed was excellent from day one and remained smooth throughout the entire trip. Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel safe and comfortable during the whole tour.
I highly recommend Beyond Travel to anyone planning to explore Uganda.

Beautiful experience and professional staff
Thank you so much for a very informative and interesting tour. I saw all the animals that live in the parks. There were many of them, especially the hippopotamuses and elephants, which came right up to the lodge. There were many different birds, antelopes, lions, and warthogs—I've never seen anything like them anywhere. The gorillas were unforgettable. The hotels are top-notch, the food was delicious, and everything was on time and correct. A huge special thanks to the guide, Akhmet. He was very honest and attentive, fulfilling all my wishes and requests. He is a very knowledgeable guide, knows the names of all the plants and animals, and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Akhmet is a huge credit for this. I recommend Beyond Travel to everyone.

Perfect travel agency
Thanks to Beyond Travel for their amazing service! They crafted a perfect budget-friendly trip for us. Despite flight cancellations from visa issues, they expertly helped us rearrange everything. While the weather hid the Big Five, we were still blessed with incredible wildlife sightings. A memorable adventure all thanks to a great agency! A big clap to our guide Herms!

Great and reliable
They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. When the car I was in broke down (through no fault of their own), they quickly arranged another car to take me to Kampala. As for the gorilla tracking, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience 🙂

Beyond Travel was fantastic and I could not recommend them enough.
I booked Beyond Travel for Gorilla Tracking to start on July 1st 2025.
Booking from abroad can always be daunting, especially for an expensive trip, however, everything was perfect.
The owner was quick to respond with with any queries, and when I enquired about changes to elements to the trip, such as start and end point and the price of overnight accomodation, everything was accomodated.
Before the start, I was given our drivers information and was able to keep up to date with his arrival. Our driver was Meddy and we could not have asked for someone better.
His driving was fantastic and any requests we had on the drive, he was happy to do. I would give this experience 5 starts based on Meddy alone.
If you are thinking of booking a trip, I could not recommend Beyond Travel enough!

A transformative adventure with the Incredibles Meddy and Beyond Travel
Our gorilla trekking experience in Uganda with Beyond Travel was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, Meddy, the owner and our guide, proved to be warm, flexible, deeply knowledgeable, and full of contagious enthusiasm, he made us feel cared for, understood, and excited at every step of the way. His ability to solve unexpected issues quickly, adapt to our needs, and still keep the energy high was remarkable. As a bonus, he’s also a great photographer and made sure we left with unforgettable memories captured beautifully.
The trek itself was a powerful and emotional experience. Being in the presence of the gorillas was humbling, surreal, and deeply moving. Witnessing them up close in their natural habitat was a privilege we’ll carry forever.
Thank you, Meddy!
