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

Great tour
Gorilla trekking was incredible and our hotel stops in Bwindi and Bunyonyi were nice, clean and comfortable. Our driver, Farouk, was accommodating and allowed us to deviate from our set itinerary (we wanted to check out a tea plantation instead of a Kigali tour). Communication with Fred was also quick and easy. Our only suggestion would be for better organization in terms of specific locations - we were supposed to go to a viewpoint on the Twin Lakes but weren’t sure where that was. That being said, our driver ensured we still found a scenic viewpoint.

Helpful in other ways besides the Safari
We had a great time on our Safari, which was Muchison Falls Big 5 plus Chimanzee tracking. It included a boat trip to the falls, which I highly recommend, the ranger guide on the boat was great. The guide at the Rhino Zoo was also great. Our driver from Frena was not a driver-guide and he did not talk much, but he got us there and back safely and knew where to find the lions. The Lodge we stayed at on the outside of the park had spactacular views and exceptionally nice staff. We left our doors open the second night, in order to be cooler and slept very good.
Frena advised us on things to do besides the Safari, in eastern Uganda (climb Tororo rock) which was great.
