Well-coordinated. Friendly. Professional. Flexible.
Coordination with Shelton was always clear and sorted the evening before the next day’s events. Most safari events were in very small groups, which made interaction with the guides easier. I thought the value for money was very good—it saved me from trying to coordinate several different safaris and accommodation by myself. We experienced very good reliability! The driver was almost always at the departure point before we were The tours were mostly magical. The Zambezi River sunset cruise offered a split screen of the storied river and its wildlife side-by-side with 21st century tourism. The staff onboard were delightful and serenaded us with a lovely Shona song at the end of the cruise.
We had such a great driver on both full days taking us to the Botswana border and back and then the next day to Hwange National Park and back in very ugly driving conditions. Our thanks to him for accommodating us on a long day.
The land portion and the water portion of the Chobe National Park were great. Even if the weather limited some sightings, we saw three of the big five that day, and it was pretty magical to reflect on where we were along the Zambezi River As we waited for others to join the safari at the Botswana border, the tour guide improvised and took us to see the impressive bridge over the river where Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe meet.
The next day we visited Hwange National Park and had a wonderful time in the company of our guide, Spencer (Spenc). We saw so many iconic animals and had a great morning tea break and picnic lunch out in the park. There were just two of us on the tour with an entertaining guide who took us to interesting parts of the park that receive fewer visitors. This day safari was the highlight of our tour package.
Our guided tour of Victoria Falls on our last day in Zimbabwe was fun! Our guide steered us clear of the hordes of tourists and allowed us to enjoy many of the vistas on our own. Thuba was entertaining and energetic and we enjoyed his company. He was also flexible and we extended the walking tour to include a stroll across the Victoria Falls Bridge. The driver who drove us to the airport was delightful and pointed out several things of interest along the way.

Unforgettable experience in Ethiopia
This was an unforgettable cultural and culinary experience that I would recommend to everyone. All of our guides were very friendly and helpful. I wish we had more time to see other parts of this beautiful country. Definitely a place to go back to. Very glad we went despite the unfortunate warnings that Ethiopia was unsafe because we found those not to be true.

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!

fantastic
I wanted to go to Ethiopia with my dog, and the agency's professionalism allowed me to make my dream come true. It was a wonderful experience: I saw beautiful places, met fantastic people, and above all, I had 24-hour assistance from my guide, Girum. The hotels were all excellent, obviously compared to Ethiopian standards. The food was excellent, and for car transfers, the drivers were always excellent, especially Gigi.

Very confident… he is punctual and assertive. I also likes that he slowed down over speed bumps
Very reliable and punctual. Carson is your guy. He went fast over a few bumps and easily made the adjustment almost to perfection. Extremely satisfied

Fun, safe, caring and delivers great value
PEA Tours an Prev, the founder and owner, gave us a great Desert Dash Safari around Namibia. The sights were amazing. The hotels PEA had booked for us were all excellent. There was perhaps a bit more driving in between sights than we had expected, but once we got used to it, it gave us the opportunity to sit back and see the country. Overall this is a superb experience and Prev is a great host and guide. Highly recommended.
