    I am traveling solo here in Rwanda and I am so happy to have Esther and Theo of Beyond Gorillas organize some events for me. They really go beyond! Esther met w me, got to know me and what I’m interested in. She was great company w me at Bisoke and explained everything - what to bring, what to do and most importantly to go at my own pace and enjoy the nature! They also organized four days of experience where I stayed at really beautiful places, had an excellent driver and visited natl park (canopy walk!!), and museums on my way back to Kigali. From these experiences I am convinced to come back to Rwanda. Thank you Esther and Theo for showing me the best of Rwanda and making me feel comfortable and welcome.🙏🇷🇼❤️

    the guides did great job getting us to a family of gorillas. The hike was slippery in places but the guides held our hands and our gear and were so attentive to us. We were never fearful, even though we got so close to the family including the silverback. Very well organized, made us feel good about all the conservation efforts being done for the gorillas.

    I did this as a one day solo trip from Kigali. The day started with a 4:30am pick up. We arrived in Volcanoes NP around 7am where we registered and met our guide and 2 other tourists hiking for the day. As we started the hike, we were joined by soldiers from the Rwandan army. They escorted us 'for our protection' as we were on the DRC border and the forest is full of wildlife. The hike itself it tough. I'm an athletic male in my 20s and found it challenging, it's constant climbing. The crater was filled with cloud/fog when we reached the top but cleared after ~15 minutes. We had lunch at the top and hiked back. I was planning on hiring hiking boots at the start of the trail for $5 but we were told the trail was dry so I made do with my running shoes, I slipped a few times on the way back but nothing serious. Take lots of water - I'd recommend arriving hydrated and taking 2-2.5 litres with you. We enjoyed a beer and some chicken&chips once we got back to the start. The day trip cost me $325. Most of the expense came from the transport to and from Kigali (hiking permit was $75 and $50 for a guide). If not in a hurry, I'd recommend catching a bus from Kigali to Muzanze (~€3.5 one way), staying there the night before and then catch a bus back from Muzanze to Kigali (or to wherever) in the evening. I ended up traveling to Gisenyi the following day and only later realised I should have gone there from Muzanze instead of going back to Kigali - but that was solely due to my lack of research. I arranged the trip through Simon in BGE, he was excellent - super quick at responding and he arranged everything for me at very short notice (the day before!). A big thanks to Simon.

    My girlfriend and I went hiking Mont Kabuye with Beyond The Gorilla Experience. Theodore, the manager, was very helpful and responsive for the booking, he answered all our questions and provided us with all the information we needed to plan our hike. Our guide Ferdinand was wonderful, he shared some fascinating facts about the local culture, he was very attentive to our needs and even helped us buy some local banana beer on our way back. The hike itself was a truly unique experience!
