Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on February 3, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Beal has visited every ecosystem in Botswana, in every season. That familiarity attracts his many repeat clients. He also leads primate treks in Rwanda and Uganda, looking for chimpanzees, golden monkeys, and mountain gorillas—and sets up stays at the best camps, such as the Gorilla Forest Camp in Uganda's Bwindi Imprenetrable Forest. "Even pre-pandemic, I was offering sound advice and counsel about transiting through and between Southern and East Africa," Beal says. "I have immediate knowledge about the commercial and light aircraft options in these regions, from flight schedules to popular connections. That's especially helpful because the best experiences are often found in Africa's more remote locations. And in using private planes or helicopters, I can ensure the privacy, luxury, and exclusivity my clients expect."
