Great tour
4/5

Gorilla trekking was incredible and our hotel stops in Bwindi and Bunyonyi were nice, clean and comfortable. Our driver, Farouk, was accommodating and allowed us to deviate from our set itinerary (we wanted to check out a tea plantation instead of a Kigali tour). Communication with Fred was also quick and easy. Our only suggestion would be for better organization in terms of specific locations - we were supposed to go to a viewpoint on the Twin Lakes but weren’t sure where that was. That being said, our driver ensured we still found a scenic viewpoint.

Uganda is an amazing country unfortunately not many people know about it :)

They are so professional and friendly I’ve spent a wonderful time.

If I’ll go to Uganda again I’ll definitely go with them

5/5

I was fortunate enough to have an amazing and experienced guide with the name of Ronald on the trip to Murchison Falls National Park . Ronald made the trip memorable with his knowledge of the different animals and calm and polite manner. All in all great experience.

Helpful in other ways besides the Safari
4/5

We had a great time on our Safari, which was Muchison Falls Big 5 plus Chimanzee tracking. It included a boat trip to the falls, which I highly recommend, the ranger guide on the boat was great. The guide at the Rhino Zoo was also great. Our driver from Frena was not a driver-guide and he did not talk much, but he got us there and back safely and knew where to find the lions. The Lodge we stayed at on the outside of the park had spactacular views and exceptionally nice staff. We left our doors open the second night, in order to be cooler and slept very good.
Frena advised us on things to do besides the Safari, in eastern Uganda (climb Tororo rock) which was great.

Very Honest Tour Operator That Communicates With You Very Often and Well
5/5

We booked a 3 day Gorilla treking tour with Fred (Frena Adventures) that was to begin in Kigali, cross the Uganda border, trek with Gorilla's in Bwindi National Park. Flying into Kigali, Rwanda is much closer to Bwindi than flying into Entebbe. Anyway we had the trip booked for a party of 7, and due to the COVID pandemic (which seems to never end) kept the border closed and made getting into Uganda very difficult from Tanzania or Kenya due to all the additional testing we'd need to do.

Long story short, Fred was with us the entire time. As things arose, we could email him, and he'd respond promptly. We made a down payment on our tour, and due to all the circumstances, we had to cancel, and Fred was very good about refunding an agreed amount of money. It was very fair with us. I felt all along that Fred was a very honest man, and doing all he could to work things out with us. Like I mentioned earlier, he was quick to communicate. We didn't actually take this tour, but we have been working with Fred from January - August 2021, and I feel I have a really good idea of what kind of a man he is and company he runs.

We plan to do this Gorilla treking tour sometime, and we will plan to do it with Frena Adventures.

Great oppurtinity to visit/enjoy Lake Mburo NP in a short time!!
5/5

Lake Mburo National Park is a fine place to visit for one or two days as we had visited on a day tour. I went with my wife and our two daughters of 13 and 16. Arriving there around 9pm there were a couple of hippos thrashing through the brush not ten meters from tented camp!
The boat trip on the lake is an opportunity to see many hippos, a couple of crocodiles, and a lot of birds. Also we had lunch at boat and was quite fine. Our guide Frank was very nice, talking with us in english and knew many details concerning all about that we were viewing.
We then did a walk with a ranger. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. It was a rare experience to be able to walk in a park amongst the wildlife. This is an advantage to visiting a park without many predators. The walk was easy and the spectacular views, a breath of fresh air.
I recommend Lake Mburo to anyone with a love for nature, particularly birds, though thee are no elephants, leopards are difficult to spot, and the handful of lions in the park are rarely seen. Our complete day was full of adventures,, and by heart thanks to Frena Adventures.

Great adventure treking for gorillas in Bwindi.
5/5

I loved my moments with the Gorillas in Rushaga sector of Bwindi Impenetrable national park. I saw babies play-swinging on tree branches while their mothers were feeding. For the first time I saw a very huge silverback walk up to us closely that we all had to stand and not act scared of course giving it its pathway. This experience was so golden that I would recommend it to all travelers coming to Uganda. And I love that fact that part of the fees paid for this activity goes towards conservation of these Apes and thanks to this the Gorilla population is increasing. Also Thanking to Frena Adventures fot this amazing tour...!!!
