Answered questions about the animals with very interesting information!
The game drives were amazing, and you get to see very many animals close up in the wild! Out guide was very knowledgeable and made the rides exiting and fun. Service was great, I had some problems with the kettle in my room and they came to fix it for me, even after the replacement one was also broken. Good value for money for food.

Unforgettable experience with a wonderful team!
An unforgettable experience with a wonderful team!
We had an incredible safari, and I couldn't help but share how special it was! Being surrounded by nature is magical in itself, but having our guide Justin by our side made all the difference. He was punctual, friendly, helpful, cautious when driving, and always concerned that we were able to take good photos of the animals. He also taught us words in the local language and was kind enough to learn some of our own—a gesture that shows affection and respect for the visitor.
I highly recommend this tour! Not only for the beauty of the place, but also for the attentiveness and care of the team. A special thanks to Tunu, who made us feel safe from the first contact, patiently answered all our questions, and helped us before, during, and after the tour, including providing support in the local language. Tunu, I can't thank you enough for all the support you gave us.
It was a beautiful, fun, and unforgettable experience. If you're planning a safari, book it with Dallas Safari!

Friendly and helpful
Our tour guide Peter Nding’ai is good. He brought us to see a lot of animals. His explanation about the wildlife is very details and interesting.
He is fun and friendly!
The only difficult thing for us was the bike riding at the Hell’s Gate. Too many vehicles and too dusty.

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

A once-in-a-lifetime wildlife and cultural experience
The perfect blend of safari and cultural experiences, this tour was unforgettable. From visiting with various tribes and learning about their daily lives to up close and personal views of wildlife, every day was a new and amazing adventure. The tour operator and the drivers were very knowledgeable and both able and willing to answer all sorts of questions about what we were experiencing, including helping me work on my Swahili. Dinner/breakfast and the accommodations were all top-notch - even the "tent" facilities were more 'glamping' than 'camping' with full private bathroom/shower facilities - but still let us get close to the wildlife (when we arrived at our first tent there was a herd of elephants not 10 feet from our tent!). When something seemed off or concerning (there was a controlled burn going on and some members of our group were a little worried), our tour operator was able to explain things and reassure us. And any small problems or hiccups that occurred were quickly resolved with no fuss or issues - hakuna matata.We were traveling as a very large group which could easily have presented challenges to a tour operator, but from start to finish, everyone in our group felt like they got to see/experience what they wanted to and were cared for as individuals. I would happily recommend Tanzania Safari Collection to anyone looking for a truly special experience in a beautiful country. My only challenge is now sorting through the thousands of pictures we took and dreaming of going back again in the future.

Thanks Axis Africa for this beautiful experience. Highly recommended.

Overall a great experience
James our driver and guide was great, he was a great driver and guide, constantly pointing out wildlife on our game drives and regaling us with facts and information. He was also an extremely safe driver, which is even more impressive given the state of some of the “roads” he had to navigate. The only reason I haven’t marked this as 5 star is that he was asked to pick up an additional person to take them to Lake Nakuru and consequently our whole group had to leave Lake Nakuru earlier than expected as the person needed to get to the airport early. It was not James fault but did mean we had less time there. James made up for it by altering the itinerary so we did the boat trip in the evening instead of the following day but you could tell he felt guilty about what had happened. Other than that the experience was great. Yes the hotels were basic but they met our needs and the other people on the trip were nice. Everyone we met was very welcoming and I would recommend the trip to others.
