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 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.

Again- Another Great Safari experience with Nyumbu Beyond , Living and Leticia - this time in Rwanda
I’ve just completed my second safari with Nyumbu Beyond: this time in Rwanda—an 11-day/10-night trip to see gorillas, golden monkeys, and chimpanzees—following my safari in Uganda a year ago.
I booked with Nyumbu Beyond again without hesitation, based on my positive experience in Uganda—and once again, Living and the team, this time including Leticia, did a phenomenal job.
Excellent planning and structuring of the trip according to my wishes, great suggestions, and a lot of passion in the execution. It was like returning to friends.
The attention to detail—that’s what makes the difference—and here again: 10 out of 10 points.
Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip to Rwanda, and see you on the next safari!

A Trailblazer and Innovator in African Safari Experience
When this Safari Itinerary was presented to me by Living “Owner of Nyumbu Beyond Journeys” I thought it was unbelievable 🫠. Getting to experience 3 East Africa countries at once was a dream come true - “Burundi, Rwanda & Uganda”. Nyumbu being one of a few tour operators that offer travel in Burundi, it gave way for me to see the magnificence of this forgotten destination. Everything was designed and tailored accordingly - the tea, Laban “Our Driver Guide” and Ernest “Our Burundi Tour Guide” plus having Living accompany us made life smooth and Good like LG 🤗. This trip for me was homecoming visiting my ancestral lands “Rwanda and Uganda” is one of my greatest life accomplishments. From River Rusizi, to the Nyungwe Forest to catching the sunset at Queen Elizabeth plains - this 15 Days Burundi, Rwanda & Uganda travel is best value for money you’ll ever invest in African Safari Experience. Thank you Living for curating a journey of lifetime for us, I highly recommend this to everyone and Nyumbu Beyond Journeys is your ideal travel partner.

Fun, bespoke trip which included everything we want for our dream holiday.
We had the best experiences with Nyumbu Beyond Journeys. They tailored the trip to include everything we wanted. We were 3 women (40 years old) looking to go gorilla trekking. The amazing guides (Living and Adam) met us at the airport at 2:00am and took us to our accommodation. They made sure before travelled we had a clear packing list and expectation of the trip. Everything was well planned and detailed oriented. The Gorilla Leisure Lodge we stayed in near the gorilla trekking was excellent with a chef that prepared wonderful meals for individual needs. After the trek they prepared a surprise picnic. They were knowledgable and helped us have our dream vacation. We will use this company again and recommend it to friends.

Amazing bunch of young men!
Living and Adam were both excellent guides. They knew all the roads very well, where to stop for great food. I was part of a group of 4 people and we never stopped laughing for the few days we were with them.
If you’re worried about the rainy season in mid to late October, don’t worry. It would rain maybe an hour at most in the late afternoon and clear up.

An amazing journey.
We did a 15 day tailor made journey through Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda created together with Nyumbu Journeys with some of our bucket list must do experiences and great tips from Living at Nyumbu. And the itinerary created was much better than we could have done ourselves. Communication was swift, very professional and solutions oriented both before and during our journey. The service provide by our guides and drivers was beyond expected, personal yet very professional and we had a lot of fun together for two weeks. Burundi was a bit of the beaten track but did not disappoint. Lots of thing to see and do and some very interesting meetings. Rwanda provides a solid tourist experience with both history and nature. The big surprise was Uganda where we had a really great time. Beautiful nature, friendly people, so much to see, do and experience.
This is not a tour we, even though we are seasoned travellers, could have created and gone through with ourselves. But Nyumbu Journeys made it possible and for that we are ever greatful.
