Well organised and very attentive to clients requests
5/5

We had a great experience doing the Gorilla Trekking in Uganda. Freka helped us book the tour seamlessly and Farouk our Tour Guide was great on ground from day one. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to make their Gorilla Trekking dreams come true!

Loved it!
5/5

Freka African Holidays (Emily) was very flexible in helping us design our itinerary. We asked a few agencies but Freka included the most activities and had the most compatible price. Sometimes we felt a bit insecure about booking directly and paying the deposit and had to ask about our status.

We did a 9-day tour through Uganda and were picked up and dropped off in Rwanda. Our tour included: Lake Mburo (game drives and boat tour), Kibale (chimpanzee trekking and swamp walk), Queen Elizabeth National Park (game drives and boat tour), Bwindi (including gorilla trekking and Batwa experience) and Lake Bunyonyi (boat tour). We choose the budget option for accommodations but they were all very nice and all our food and drinking water was also included. Our guide Frank was friendly, kind and a good driver (O my..., we could not manage to drive those dirt roads ourselves). We really enjoyed our experience in Uganda! And we would recommend it to everyone!

Amazing tour provided by Freka African Holidays
5/5

I have just returned from a 5-day trip in Uganda and Rwnda organized my Freka African Holidays and had an amazing experience!
At first I was going to travel solo and had already made all arrangements (including paying the 50%) to Freka, and when a friend of mine decided to join the trip, Emily at the office assisted us and everything worked out.
Our guide Gerald was fantastic and made us feel safe and taken care of during the entire trip. Gerald knows his way around Uganda and Rwanda without even needing to use a map, and is very knowledgeable about the parks and wildlife. He made sure we had an amazing experience and spared no efforts for us to see wildlife and make sure we arrived in time for all scheduled activities. Gerald is also a very good driver.
When doing research on tour agencies, Freka stood out because of the itinerary and price. In 5 days (departing from Kigali and arriving back in Kigali) we did Volcanoes National Park (golden monkeys), Bwindi (gorillas), Lake Bunyonyi (the boat ride was amazing, we even saw an otter), Queen Elizabeth NP (boat ride and game drive), Kalinzu (chimps) and Akagera (game drive and boat ride).
We chose the mid-range accomodation, as the price difference from the budget option was small, and all hotels were excellent. In two ocasions (Bwindi and Akagera) our original accomodation was full, so we stayed in the alternative options, which ended up being excellent. All hotels were in great locations, very clean and comfortable and the food was amazing everywhere.
As two women travelling, we felt safe the entire time.
I highly reccomend Freka and the 5-day tour in Rwanda and Uganda, as we could see and do a lot of things, without having to rush anything. If I had more time, I would have loved to stay extra days, especially in Akagera, but having only a few days, this tour was perfect.

Amazing 5-days Rwanda and Uganda wildlife tour
5/5

Rwanda and Uganda with Ronald. I had an amazing time seeing golden monkeys in Volcanoes NP, gorillas in Bwindi and chimpanzees in Kalinzu forest. I also saw loads of savanna animals during game drives in Queen Elisabeth and Akagera NP.

Ronald is a super fun and helpful guide and I am really enjoyed his company and skillful navigation of the Ugandan speed bumps ;)

Great gorilla sighting experience
5/5

The communication was great from the beginning to end.
I am very impressed with the care the gorilla habitats and the gorillas are given. I love the fact that they are completely unbothered by human activity since so much care is placed into their well being.
It was truly a dream come true to get to experience something like this.
I booked a luxury tour and both of our luxury accommodations were great. I was really impressed with the level of service at the 4gorilla Lounge.
Our vehicle was unreliable….. there was leaking break fluid, flat tire, seat belts didn’t work, and there was no AC. It would have been nice to be able to close the windows especially during the long drives on dirt roads.
Our drive was longer than usual because a bridge collapsed, but it was still an interesting experience.
I forgot my tripod in the vehicle and my driver dropped it off at my hotel the very next day- so kind of him.
The only thing I would change would be to maybe add a bit more education about Uganda’s history, way of life, customs, etc while on the tour, and upgrade the mode of transportation.
