I wish I could take more of their tours. - Even the title of this organisation is spot on. I never had any intention of wanting to see gorillas, but there was so much more in Muzanse I wanted to see. I did the hike round Bizoke and a lake tour both were spectacular. All the staff I met from BGE were kind, funny and knowledgeable. I'm incredibly grateful for a very memorable time!

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.

Wonderful hike with Allen and Jeanette - Just me and two lovely knowledgeable ladies doing a great hike with wonderful vistas. About 90 mins outside Kigali ( pick up and return is extra) the hike started with some straight uphill but pace was very calm and lots of breaks as I needed. Lots of wonderful information on the city and country as well and gorgeous views everywhere. Excellent guides and a wonderful experience! Will definitely contact this team for any other visits to Rwanda.

Mount Kabuye Hike - Hiking to the summit of Mount Kabuye, from 1700 m to 2700 m, about three hours of ascent. Camping and descent the next day. Very nice hiking, very nice and interesting guide, exceptional panoramas. Warm Welcoming and excellent and hearty food at the camp. Very nice activity!

Beautiful experience in land of thousand hills! - Local hills hiking is just what the title says. We got transport from/to Kigali for additional price. Our guides Justin and Francis were kind and knowledgeable. Shared a lot of information not only about Mt. Kabuye but about Rwanda culture, people and history. Hiking to the peak of Mt. Kabuye was moderate difficulty. But at the peak 3 course meal is waiting for you! That was even too much food :) For us, the highlight of the hike were spontaneus talks with local people and children on the streets and school. We really enjoyed it!

Enjoyable walk and camping - We booked a walk up Mount Kabuye, we were met at the starting point and given our briefing and met the guide (allan) and the porters. There is secure parking on site, so you can leave the car overnight. It took us a few hours to reach the top, the pace was as we required and breaks are at your ease, there was never a rush to get us to the top. The guide had some snacks just in case you need a hit of sugar. There are also Jibu water points to refill your water as you go up. Its a nice walk, with only a couple of steeper parts, otherwise gradual and the final part in through the woods which is nice! On arrival we were greeted by the team at the top. The set up is nice, we a few wooden builds to host kitchen and dinning. We were fed tea, snack and then a large lunch which was well cooked and enjoyed by all guests (they ask dietary requirements before hand). Our tents with mat, sleeping bag provided by Beyond Gorillas are set up for you, allowing you to enjoy a bit of time by a covered fire pit. The fire is great spot to spend the evening before and after another tasty evening meal (and a bottle of wine). In the morning, we had breakfast and headed back down in under 2 hours. Overall its a nice out of Kigali experience, the guide was excellent and the service at the top was also great.

Hiking Volcanoes National Park - I loved hiking along the volcanoes, the explanations provided by our guide Theodore and the delicious meal proposed in the village.

Mt Kabuye Trail Hike - I'm a 60 yr old woman, I walk all the time at home but boy was I surprised when Mt. Kabuye turned into a trial & tribulation but thanks to Kwame(porter)& Theo (owner). I was able to complete the trail hike, yes I was the last member of our group to reach the lodge but it was so gratifying to be able to complete the hike. I got cheers.. All of the Beyond Gorillas staff were absolutely the most helpful; kind,attentive and provided a 1st Class Customer Experience and the chef prepared delicious meals using locally grown produce. I recommend Beyond Gorillas Experience.

Mount Kabuye camping is a must-do! - camping on the top of Mount Kabuye is a beautiful experience. The camp is set in beautiful, quiet green forest with stunning views across Rwanda's peaks. The camp facilities are basic (simple tent provided, basic seated toilet, shower is a hot water bucket and a jug to pour it over yourself) but it's comfortable (mattresses in the tents, beer and wine available), and the catering team up there are out of this world - they delivered a full 3 course dining experience, with a great chef at the helm (they ably and happily catered for me as a vegetarian too), eating around warming fire pit. We spent 2 nights there as part of a mountain bike trip. Would definitely return just for the camping and location (binoculars for birding recommended) and the very helpful and super friendly staff.

Decent hike 2 hours outside Kigali - great view of the hills and country life - Booked this hike with less than 24 hours and they did everything to arrange it all at short notice including the pick up from my hotel in kigali . The start of the hike is about 2 hours outside kigali and is a moderate hike . A proper moderate hike - it is not an easy one . It's just over 1000m of climbing and took me about 2 hours 10 mins of walking to complete (excluding a 10mins pit stop when we got guava from a local farmer and stopped to eat then ) . The original guide to top is 3.5 hours and that would allow for lots of stopping /breaks Track is a dirt/earth road most of the hike with a little Forrest at the top! Do take the pole that is offered - I was reluctant to take it b it was glad I did as parts are extremely slippery- my butt did hit the ground on the way down on one occasion. At the top you are treated to drink of your choice and some freshly cooked snacks - I highly recommend the ginger tea - was fantastic . Do tell them your dietary requirements as they are very flexible !!! The way down was slightly different to way up so plenty of variety of scenery and Francis is full of information on all the plants and vegetation! Overall great trip - John the driver arrived early and was a very safe driver and I was back in Kigali by 4pm
