The trip was incredibly well-organized, and the team was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food provided was delicious, adding an extra touch to the adventure. The tent setup was comfortable, and the bonfire experience at the top of the mountain was unforgettable. We truly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking a unique and memorable experience out of Kigali! Tarika M2024-09-05Verified Amazing location, phenomenal family, great experience My homestay was a phenomenal experience. The family I stayed with were absolutely amazing. Their kindness and generosity is unmatched and I felt very welcomed. I truly enjoyed every moment of the visit and learned so much about the area. The other activities in the area the next day such as the visit to the lake, the city tour, the archery on the private island, and the visit to the gorilla naming statues were also fantastic. The vehicle used was clean and spacious and I would recommend the activity. Amy T2024-09-03Verified Camping in Volcanoes National Park - A fantastic return experience! Theo, Gerard, and the Beyond the Gorillas Experience team did an excellent job organising a another camping trip for my colleagues and me in Volcanoes National Park. The camp was comfortable, the equipment was great, and the food was delicious. They set up everything with great respect for the forest, minimising any disturbance. Thank you for a wonderful trip! AllyAllyFi2024-09-02Verified A slice of a different life With our guide Vincent we toured Lake Ruhondo by boat and it was magical. We were able to trek across two islands and meet islanders who live with so little but were so happy and very welcoming. We also tried archery and spear throwing on the company’s private island. Vincent was a fantastic guide and shared so much knowledge, he was born on one of the islands so there is no one better to tell you how the locals live. We thoroughly recommend this tour and Vincent 😊 Elaine F2024-07-03Verified A Novel Experience in Rwanda My husband and I came to Rwanda to see a bit of Kigali and to do two gorilla treks.Our guide surprised us with a boat excursion arranged through Beyond the Gorillas.After driving to the Twin Lakes area, we boarded a boat for what we imagined would be a sunset cruise and sundowner. We were utterly delighted to visit an island inhabited by just 29 families, whose small homes and farms dotted the island. We were warmly welcomed by the dancing and music of the village women and then hiked around the island, learning about the families and their somewhat isolated lives. After a very satisfying visit, we went by boat to another nearby island to relax, enjoy drinks and snacks and a beautiful sunset. Lovely, unexpected experience. scocker2024-06-18Verified Fabulous two days. Had two fabulous days with Esther who met me at my hotel and organised for me to trek to Dian Fossey’s grave site and a half day walk around the fields towards Besoke. It was truly magical. I thought being solo it would be hard to organise, especially at such short notice. Esther speaks beautiful English and I really enjoyed her company. Very professional. She also organised my transport back to Kigali.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

My husband and I had a wonderful day hiking Mt Mwiko and boating Twin Lakes to Peace Haven Island for lunch!! Justin and Vincent, with Beyond the Gorillas Experience, exuded so much passion for their country which was passed onto us. Walking through a village before the ascent up, we had the opportunity to interact with the locals while learning so much about the Rwandan culture. During the hike, we saw so many gorgeous birds which Justin identified for us. Once at the top of the mountain, we had an amazing panoramic view and the perfect spot for a group selfie. Next, we boarded a boat and headed to the Island for lunch. Compliments to the chef for a tasty plate of food, yum! The day was very memorable filled with learning, laughter, and connection. I highly recommend Beyond the Gorillas Experience! Uwase Vincent2023-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
