Great and efficient gorilla trekking - This tour was exactly what we were looking for! We wanted an efficient and smooth trip to see the gorillas up close, so we flew into Kigali (Rwanda) enabling us to see this amazing (and safe) country. However, Gorilla trekking in Uganda is both cheaper (~50% of permits in Rwanda) and offer multiple different opportunities to be sure you see them, but that does not mean you need to fly in and out of Uganda. Highly recommend flying to Kigali and driving the 2-3 hours across the border. Frena Adventures delivered on all metrics; airport pickup/drop off. Nice driving in a decent car, nice lodges with good food (catering for gluten intolerant meals). Our guide, Roland, made the many hours in the car feel safe and enjoyable. Thank you for everything - highly recommended for other tourists interested in Gorilla trekking!

Gorrila trekking in Uganda - Despite a rocky start, the trip went very well. The guide Farouk did an excellent job and I would recommend him for any future tours.

Amazing experience - We had a fantastic time in Uganda with our driver Ronnie, the gorilla trekking in Bwindi was just incredible, it was a real adventure and seeing the gorillas was such an touching experience. We then visited Kalinzu and saw chimps, colobus and blue and red tail monkeys, the forest is really beautiful. Finally we visited the Queen Elisabeth NP, and we saw so many animals, lions included! Ronnie and Frenadventure were very honest and serious, I have no complains and I'm glad we chose it. Overall I was really happy with the tour, and highly recommend it to anyone!

Frena Adventure was more than a professional level; Our guide Apollo felt more like a family. - We landed at Entebbe, Uganda later than the plan originally had, but Apollo and Abraham tried to fit all the activities during the stay, and actually provided us all the itinerary and schedules we were supposed to have. Apollo was perfect in terms of speaking English. We had no problems sharing our thoughts on wonderful nature of Uganda and sometimes talk about our lives in Korea and Uganda. We shared so much things together as human-beings not as tourists and a guide. Gorilla trekking was worth that money, and so did Chimpanzee trekking. We saw marvelous forest and very different kinds of animals dwelling harmonious in one place. When passing through the Kazinga Channel, hundreds of hippos and alligators, even a pack of elephants welcomed us. Aside from eating packed lunch from the lodge, we spoke with Apollo that we want to try very local cuisine, and so we did. The most memorable moment is not one, but every single moment was precious and our family was living with uncountable happiness all time. I thank you very much Apollo, and dear Frena Adventures for supporting our first tour at Africa. Uganda will stay in our heart forever.

Gorilla trekking - We flew from Nairobi to Rwanda and drove across to Uganda which was scenic and beautiful. We really enjoyed the whole experience, we were well-looked after and everything went smoothly with the transit across Rwanda and passing into Uganda. Our driver was attentive and followed the itinerary as planned. Do make sure you take plenty of Ugandan shillings (UGX) for all the tipping you are expected to do and if you want to buy drinks at the hotels (our hotels said they didn’t take cards!). As we were coming from living in Nairobi, we had thought we could withdraw UGX from the Kigali airport ATM (as one guide book had said) but alas no, so we ended up borrowing shillings from our guide which was awkward and wouldn’t have been necessary if we had been able to stop at one of the Ugandan ATMs en route. The trekking itself was excellent and the guides/trackers very professional. Do take a face mask which is required when you approach the gorillas, and some lightweight gloves for protection as the bushes are thorny in the forest, although you can buy these for a couple of dollars each at the starting point. We got extremely close to a whole troop and will take away memories to cherish. Thank you!
