Trip of a lifetime
Seeing the mountain gorillas in close proximity was an amazing experience at Bwindi. We were so happy to saw the family of gorillas at an easy task, within 30-40 minutes and we get the chance to track them eating breakfast on the move. They literally passed within a few feet of us. And having an amazing photo shoot with them. One word of caution: the terrain is very steep and thus you definitely need a decent level of fitness. I recommend to carry complete utility back packs that help you up at the hills!

An absolute place for any animal lover
We had planned a trip with Freka African Holidays and our entire trip was planned to include chimpanzee and gorilla trekking. If someone have to trek Mountain gorilla, then must go to Congo, Rwanda and in Bwindi impenetrable forest.
, and we decide for Bwindi. The expedition is incredibly well planned by the tour company, allowing groups of up to eight people to see these extraordinary animals in their natural habitat, and getting as close as five meters from them. Viewing is virtually guaranteed as only gorillas which are used to contact with humans can be approached.
The troops are sent very early in the morning, so that by 7am, as they already know where the families can be found and though we found a group of 12. An absolutely unforgettable experience!!

Wildlife Viewing at Queen Elizabeth National Park
During our 5 days trip we got chance to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park. Wildlife here is kind of good but not as such in Kenya, Tanzania, or Botswana. That is why we said strongly to recommend visiting and supporting Ugandan wildlife and conservation efforts made by authorities. Actually this Park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions, which while hard to locate would be a very rewarding game-viewing experience.
This Park is so much broad that it is splits into two areas, one as the northern section (Kasenyi) and other one the southern section (Ishasha). We found some lions in Kasenyi and were very lucky to find a leopard in Ishasha. It is apparently more common to find lions in the trees in Ishasha but they do also climb up into the cactus candelabras in Kasenyi.
QENP is surrounded by and even home to many human settlements and At the end of the day we meet to some life population. With the support of tourists and Ugandan Wildlife Authority and the Ugandan government, this place will defiantly have a bright future of diversity ahead.

This Lake is Seriously Stunning!
Lake Bunyonyi is seriously stunning, I can truly say!!. From the beautiful green hills to the countless pristine fingers of the lake, this is a place that one could sit and gaze at the beauty for ages.
Though activities at the lake are limited, there are a few worth mentioning:
For the casual or avid birder, get your binoculars ready. You are likely to find one for your life list.
The boat ride is well worth the money, that is arranged from the side of Freka African Holidays. The ride takes you out to places such as animal island where you will see Zebra and Impala.
Stop at Bunyonyi Safaris Resort was good and dive into the lake from the diving plank or the elevated platform, if you are brave enough. Before you are leaving the overland make sure you order the Crawfish pizza. It is fantastic, but make sure you order any food an hour before you want to eat.
Lake Bunyonyi is a not to miss place to visit! Thanks to Freka African Holidays for this amazing tour.

Great Experience with Safaris
Freka African Holidays made our trip amazing and we'll never forget. Our tour guide was very intelligent he took us to the Rhino Sanctuary and continued towards the Murchison Falls National Park where we spent much time at the lodge, they provided us excellent accommodation with tasty dishes and very helpful staff. Then we headed towards the Elizabeth national Park with a break. The staff there was also very helpful as well, and the dinner we taken was amazing at the first place we stayed. Our guide was very magnificent with knowledge and very friendly behaviour. I highly recommends Freka African Holidays. Thank you so much for your great help and support...

Great Experience with Freka African Holidays
Usually, I plan every little detail of my vacations on my own. This was the first time I didn't have the time and used a travel agency named Freka African Holidays. They made everything very easy and effortless. I was able to customize our trip based on our needs and wishes. There are so many travel companies in Uganda that offer similar things. The reason why I choose Freka African Holidays was that they had very good communication. I would like to use them again and also recommend them highly...

This was one of the best organized tours I have done from start to finish. Communication with the company was excellent and the guide replies were always prompt and to the point. Our guide was wonderful and had great knowledge of the local flora and fauna and the accommodations and food were better than expected. I highly recommends Freka African Holidays to everyone. Thank you so much guys for your help and support....
