10/10 experience; would highly recommend
We had an excellent experience during our Mid-range 2-day golden monkeys & gorilla trekking experience. Our guide, Ronald, was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure the trip was according to our wishes; taking the time to advise the park rangers of our ideal hiking plan. The company organized our stay at the Gorilla Hills Eco Lodge, which was perfect. The food was delicious, the room was spacious and the lodge staff were extremely friendly; even taking the time to clean and dry our shoes from the golden monkeys trekking. I highly recommend Frena Adventures and we thoroughly enjoyed!

An Amazing 9-Day Ugandan Adventure with Frena Adventures!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Frena Adventures for an unforgettable 9-day holiday in Uganda. The entire trip was beautifully organized, filled with breathtaking moments, and truly one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.
A very special thank you goes to Ronnie, our guide. His deep knowledge of wildlife, nature, and culture, along with his kindness, professionalism, and great sense of humor, made every day enjoyable. Ronnie always ensured we were comfortable, safe, and getting the most out of each experience.
The trip was full of incredible highlights:
🌿 Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — an unforgettable, emotional encounter with a mountain gorilla family in the misty forest. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.
🐵 Chimp trekking in Kibale Forest — watching the chimps swing, play, and interact in their natural environment was absolutely fascinating.
🦏 Visiting the rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary — seeing these magnificent animals up close was a powerful and inspiring moment.
🦁 Game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls National Park — we spotted lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, warthogs, and a stunning variety of birds. The landscapes were as impressive as the wildlife.
🚤 Boat safaris, including the Kazinga Channel and the Nile in Murchison Falls, offered incredible views of animals along the water and a totally unique perspective of the parks.
🌄 Exploring caves and scenic viewpoints added even more adventure and depth to the journey, showing the diverse beauty of Uganda’s landscapes.
And of course, the mighty Murchison Falls, with the Nile squeezing through the narrow gorge, was simply spectacular.
Throughout the trip, the accommodations were comfortable, the meals were excellent, and the entire itinerary was smooth and well-organized. Frena Adventures truly took care of every detail, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience.
Thank you, Frena Adventures, and especially Ronnie, for an incredible holiday filled with unforgettable memories, stunning wildlife, and breathtaking nature. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to explore the beauty of Uganda. This journey will stay in my heart forever!
Bwindi is amazing!
I had a 2 day itinerary from Kigali to both the Volcanoes National Park and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Ronnie was my driver and the car was very comfortable (this is important for me as I can get travel sick otherwise). The tour was nicely paced. Seeing the golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park was great but the real highlight was Bwindi Impenetrable Forest: trekking families of gorillas was amazing! I went for the midrange itinerary and the lodge I stayed in had absolutely beautiful views over the mountains.

Reliable operator, good guides
Frena was a reliable tour operator. The vehicle was comfortable, all the bookings were made in good places (as per the moderate package that I had picked).
The guide, Kendrick, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Honeymooning with the Gorillas and Golden Monkeys!
We had a spectacular Honeymoon trip with Frena Adventures seeing the gorillas chill in Bwindi Forest, seeing the wonderful culture of Rwanda and Uganda, and watching the Golden Monkeys jump around in Volcanoes National Park. It was a surreal experience hiking for 2 hours to interact and take photos of the stunning gorillas - just inches away from us. Our guide, Issa, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind during our entire 3-day drive. We enjoyed our delicious home-made meals, talking about life in Rwanda/Uganda, and driving around seeing the different cultures. You can tell Issa takes pride in what he does and loves his country and the animals. We would recommend Frena Adventures if you are looking for adventure in Rwanda and Uganda. My wife and I had a trip of a lifetime!
Note for future travelers: Roads are VERY bumpy. If you tend to get car sick, bring anti-nausea medication. You do need to wear a surgical mask to see the gorillas and monkeys, so make sure you pack some. The Volcanoes National Park only takes Visa card the day of the hike. Although we did pay the tour upfront for our passes, we did have to pay again when we got there (thank goodness we had our Visa with us). But Issa reimbursed us right when we met back with him after the hike was over. There is a cultural experience in your itinerary – we would recommend bringing plenty of tip money if you do proceed with that part of the trip. Lastly, it would be helpful for Frena to ensure the guides know exact location of lodges/hotels to prevent them getting lost.
We can’t wait to travel with Frena Tours in the future!
Lodges we stayed in: Four Gorillas Lodge, Five Volcanos Boutique Hotel. We highly recommend these lodges booked by Frena Tours. They were wonderful
