Gorillas are the highlight of course. Beautiful forrest and landscape
Loved loved loved our trip to Bwindi National Park. Seeing the magnificent mountain gorillas in their natural environment was breathtaking. A huge thank you to our guides and trackers who made this experience so fantastic and are doing such a great job in helping preserve these wonderful creatures.
As for many the gorillas were definitely the highlight on a trip to Uganda. The park itself lives up to its name, it is dense, beautiful forest. Our trek took about four hours up and about three hours down, hiking through dense jungle, swamps, up and downhill and was definitely tough but oh so worth it. Two guys were guiding the path with machetes. The difficulty we felt was more the track rather than physical exhaustion however some people suffered. But It was all rewarded when we found the gorillas. It was amazing how close you can get to them. These are very impressive animals, on the other side funny and playful. The way back was probably nicer as it was a permanent and well-maintained track, and offered some excellent views.
Overall, wonderful experience, can't wait to return one day.

AMAZING- MUST DO EXPERIENCE!!
We were here for a 4 days trip in January with a tour package from Frena Adventures. Having first stop at Bwindi and visited 2 or 3 families of gorillas, what an experience was that on day. The guides are amazing and you do not travel for very long as there are trackers out before you go to find the family. The rule is to stay 7 metres away from the gorillas but they come up to you. The pictures you can get of these creatures are amazing and the money you spend on seeing these creatures goes towards helping them stay alive in their natural area for as long as possible. We only spend an hour with the gorillas but It really is a must do expereince and one I would like do it again!

Relaxing boat trip and abundant wildlife
The Kazinga channel is having lots of fun in itself and a boat drive an absolute must during a stay in Queen Elisabeth NP. We were on a tour organized by Frena Adventures but I am not aware of the logistics of the boat trip, since it was organized for us and we just needed to show up.
We were lucky to also stay at the Bunyonyi Safaris Resort, just overlooking the lodge so the feeling is totally complete.
You can see buffalos, hippos, crocs, varieties of birds and elephants from literally 5 m away from the safety of your boat. Hippos are shy animal and would mostly submerge when a boat approaches, but juveniles and buffalos are less careful and you can see them very well.
My personal highlight during the tour was buffalos and hippos in one group just hanging out with each other.

Celebrate Birthday with Nature Adventure
We were a group of 5 people scheduled to enjoy my birthday weekend with nature drive and looking at gorillas, after having booked leave and paid for the permit months in advance. It was a remarkable experience. First off, there’s a very good reason they call in impenetrable, ensure never to get lost in there. You will never let to know which way is up, down or return without a guide, so the wonder of it all is something, the huge trees, the fog, the ever persistent rain. Also there are gorillas and some other primates and birds, which I must add are quite colorful. I was worried I’d not enjoy the experience because it was my first time in deep forest but met up with another group that morning and we trekked together it was fascinating, talking to people obviously so different at face value. Must add this to your life list. Not bucket list. Thanking to this great company for this amazing pleasure.

Amazing Lake- Bunyonyi !!
Visiting Lake Bunyonyi & staying at the Bunyonyi Safaris Resort was the best highlight of my 4 Days trip with Frena Adventures. Now I had understood why it's rated as one of the most beautiful lakes.
We had provided a guide who took us up a hile just behind the resort. We had some amazing views of the lake from that high angle - looking down at the various islands in the lake. We also had a 1-hour boat ride where the guide went explaining stories behind the many islands. We were assured that the lake is bilharzia free and it is the second deepest lake of Uganda, even some of in my group braved to have a swim in the chilly waters.
If you are in the Kabale region, I recommend it to check out this beautiful lake with its many islands. You won’t regret it.

Beautiful Lake Bunyonyi !
On our 4 days tour we stayed on a hill overlooking the lake and it was absolutely beautiful view. Sunset over the lake was amazing, and you can take trips out on the lake as well. There are lot of islands you can go around and some you can walk around. One of the islands even has zebras!
Accommodation were so good , we stayed at Bunyonyi Safaris Resort with our guide Alollo. We did a boat tour on a small, engine-powered canoe type boat. You can also rent canoes or go swimming.
This is a great place to relax for a day or two after tracking the gorillas.

Lake Bunyonyi seems to be Out of this world !!
Lake Bunyonyi gives you that feeling of being out of this world and into completely new peaceful world!! It was the most highlight place of our 4 days tour. You can get a beautiful scenery of the lake from some hotels on the hill ( we stayed at Bunyonyi Safaris Resort). Frank told us that this lake is really clean and no dangerous fishes, so very safe for swimming ( as long as you are ok with deep water, as its the second deepest lake in East Africa)

Murchison Falls are actually wide.
Murchison Falls is a little known park but we all the friends were happy to be in Uganda, visited with the help of Frena Adventures. We were quite not sure having been through Amboseli and Mara what to expect or if go through a park in Uganda. But even we were not disappointed. The boat safari on the Nile is a unique safari experience where we got to see such an incredible array of wildlife. Hippos, Nile crocodiles and elephants drinking on the banks of the Nile. On the game drives we got to see lions,giraffes, leopards, here’s of buffalo, elephants and much more. Finished off with a chimpanzee trek on our way out. Really All round top park.

Amazingly Beaitiful Falls
The whole Murchison Falls National Park is amazing and so much beautiful. The first thing that we want to do is, reach to to top and we did that, the top of the falls. The power that the Nile puts between the rocks is powerful. At the top there are several different spots to walk around to get different perspectives. On next day we took a boat ride on the Nile that went to almost near the bottom of the falls. I wish it would have gone a little more close but the ride was great though. Go on one of the smaller boats, they seem to get closer to the animals. Our ranger Apollo,put our boat right up on a bank where a Nile crocodile was sunning and it was just about three feet away. Must have past at least five hippopotamus pods. We stayed at the Parkside Safari Lodge and I highly recommend it. On our safari of the park we saw quite a few different animals. The grass was high so it was hard to see animals such as lions. You really had to looking hard. I highly recommend this park to must have a safari once.

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.
