Went Uphill both ways but worth it...!!
Our trek lasted at 4PM, so we had an intermediate hike, some go longer. We started out strong but the hills climbing were really tough. Taking help of walking sticks was so good while going up as well as down.
Luckily, our guide Frank helped to hire a porter to carry our bagpacks. He eventually carried all of our stuff for us to make it. A lady in our group really struggled at the onset but one of the rangers eventually carried her bag to keep us moving.
We got to the gorilla family at about 11:30 and we just have got a little over an hour with them. We had to move around a lot as they were active. At one point we were watching the adult hang out while two younger ones played - just like what you would see in the park.
After our time we left and hiked for a while and stopped for lunch, we had an actual lunch with us but the others only had snacks and finished quick. Then we hiked the rest of the way back.
Most thankful to Frank for the help, we had the stick and brought good gloves, also we had long socks to tuck in our pants. It is what kept all of us initially in our long sleeves.
And definitely glad I paid the $20 (and gave a big tip) for the porter.

Wonderful trip exceeded expectations
"Fabulous trip"
the trip was really excellent. Joe was wonderful very skilled driver and very knowledgable about everything very interesting and a very nice guy. The accommodation was basic but clean and fine and the food simple and good. The animals were just wonderful and many more and much closer to than I had expected. It was magical. We really enjoyed it, it was a truly wonderful trip.

It was a Long hike, but breathtaking result.
Wow, just wow. This was the most important reason we booked a trip to Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest, Uganda with Frena Adventures and it was totally worth it.
We had to hike for 3,5 hours before we found the mountain gorillas, that was pretty tough and We were tracking with our guide Frank. Once we found them, all the tiredness was gone. They were so peaceful and amazing giants to observe. The time we had spent with them was over very soon.
We took a porter with us, also to support the community. If the gorilla family is close, you probably don’t need one. But it’s still good to bring a porter because you never know when you need help and also this way you can help someone make some money, we were glad we payed a porter to help. Some other people in our group regretted they didn’t get a porter.
The gorilla tracking is a pretty expensive activity, but totally worth the money. I would recommend this to anyone and I definitely want to do this again some day.

Family vacation
We wer really skeptical as to wether we had made a good move when we chose Khanondo safaris but I must say the only regret we have is ever doubting them. Simon and his team surely went above and beyond our expectations. The entire family loved their hospitality and we hope to see them again soon

A life time holiday!!
The safari adventures of cruising, walking through fascinating attractions, meeting the locals, swimming in the warm clear waters and eating by the delicious healthy Uganda local foods. A wonderful holiday to Uganda, a company with great concern to client’s attention and comfort!
Murchison Falls was the Best
My experience, a 3 day weekend escape trip to the Murchison Falls, was cool. We saw not only the usual tourist sites, but several other attractions and wildlife. The tour accomodation, meals, were all in point. By far the best operator I have traveled with!
