Fav experience
I chose Beyond Travel because of their great quality and fair prices. From the very beginning, they were extremely helpful and helped me plan my trip just the way I wanted. Meddy, our guide, was an absolute sweetheart he was always there to answer our questions and made sure we had a safe ride! And having a safe ride here in Rwanda is not something to take for granted.
I'll let you in on a little secret Meddy takes photos like a professional!
So, after almost three months ofof living in Rwanda as a resident, sharing life with locals as a friend, I can honestly say that Beyond Travel is truly one of the best choices for your ultimate experience.

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!

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!

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 🙂

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!

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.

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.

RIP off dishonest company
Save your money and book else where. Charlatans all nice and responsive before you travel. Than it all goes wrong!! We booked chimpanzees in kibale park instead we were taken to Kyamburu. This with less the half the cost of what we paid for. Our 2nd hotel was cancelled without any warning. Where we were at was substandard and not in the park as promised. Some USD800 difference in cost. Lies about water as we called the hotel. Our driver had received our itinerary 2 weeks prior to our arrival. We were always booked in the sub standard hotel and was never informed until we arrived at the wrong hotel. I think he thought we would not notice. We were supposed to go to ischika this didnt happen. They will sell you one itinerary than completely change it. Please look elsewhere and read reviews from other websites. I managed to find plenty of negative reviews once I researched properly. I have noticed quite a few of the bad reviews have disappeared. Uganda is a beautiful country please DO NOT book through beyond travel. I have included many screen shots as I have noticed the owner responds to reviews with lies. The difference in what we paid for and what we got is some USD2000 difference

Posted on Jun 1, 2026We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we would like to clarify a few important points for transparency.
This was a 7-day safari covering Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi, and Lake Bunyonyi. Due to the travel distances and schedule involved, it was not possible to include Kibale National Park within this itinerary. Kibale was therefore never listed as a destination on the confirmed tour itinerary.
Regarding chimpanzee trekking, we kindly ask that you share the actual itinerary details we provided to you. Any mention of Kibale National Park during our discussions was additional information about chimpanzee tracking options in Uganda and did not confirm that trekking would take place there. Logically, since Kibale was not part of the itinerary route, chimpanzee tracking was arranged in Kyambura Gorge within Queen Elizabeth National Park, which is also a recognized chimpanzee trekking destination.
Regarding accommodation concerns, the adjustment was made after several attempts to communicate through email and WhatsApp unfortunately went unanswered. At the time, Uganda was experiencing a nationwide internet shutdown related to the January general elections, which created communication challenges for both travelers and operators.
However, as per our company policy and standard operating procedures, whenever a change is necessary, guests are only reallocated to facilities within the same category and standard. We do not intentionally downgrade client tours. We therefore respectfully invite you to mention both the originally proposed accommodation and the alternative provided so readers can make their own fair comparison.
We also recall personally traveling from Kampala to Lake Bunyonyi to meet with you directly and discuss these concerns in person during the safari.
We value all feedback and remain committed to offering memorable and professional safari experiences while continuously improving our services.
