Could not have been a better experience!
Booked my trip last minute and I can't believe how lucky I got. Very fast to respond, extremely helpful (even for things that I needed organised outside of the tour), and very professional. Pick up and drop off were seamless. Our safari driver (Josef) was absolutely incredible... he could drive (like a pro) and spot animals miles away at the same time... we were very lucky to have been able to see the big 5 (and more) and I know that it definitely had something to do with our guide and his sixth sense. The food was really good, our cook Simba was always ready with more food than we could possibly eat. Could not say enough good things. Do not hesitate to book!

Everything was great! Easy to book, payment enough upon arrival, reliable company, amazing adventure
After a detailed discussion we got a tailormaide (private tour) itinerary, which reflected all our wishes. We didn’t have to pay anything in advance, we could pay everything upon arrival.
Everything went smooth, how we expected from the pickup at the airport all the way —> to the drop off at the airport.
We met Paul just on our first night, he was very nice. However Emmanuel, our tour guide and Moody our chef was with us during the whole trip. They made their best to bring the most out of our trip. They really fulfilled our wishes, and they were flexible throughout the whole trip. The safaris were breathtaking. We saw the Big5, and so much more! The food was delicious. The campings were cool.
Can definitely recommend Pofu Holidays! :)

Superb: Highly Pleased
After having been to more than 100 countries and having done safaris in several countries over the years, I am pleased to admit that Fred and Frena Adventures have been one of the best tour operators I have come across so far.
Since day 1, Fred has been transparent, accommodating and forthcoming.
I requested a cross-border tour covering both Rwanda and Uganda.
He came up with interesting proposals and customized the proposed itinerary exactly as we had desired. We did Golden Monkeys in Rwanda,
It was a well-organized mix of activities. Lodges were exactly we were looking for; neat and clean without being falsely over-done. Meals were decent and service friendly all long.
In short, Fred delivered it without any negative deviation.

So Many Animals!
This was a very convenient trip! We were picked up at the house we were staying at and driven north to our destination at Sambiya River Lodge. We stopped on the way to visit a rhino sanctuary (which was really cool). The van was clean and comfortable and Nicolas was a good driver. We went on a day safari drive, a later afternoon safari drive, a boat ride to Murchisson Falls, and a trip to the top of the falls. We saw so many animals, we couldn’t believe it. Our accommodations at the lodge were perfect. Staff was great and went out of their way to make sure you were happy with your stay. Food was buffet style and everything we tried was tasty! A bonus- wild animals would hang around the property! During our trip, the amount we paid to book covered EVERYTHING (except alcohol) and Nicolas and Jonathan took care of everything and was always checking in to make sure we were well and happy. We very much enjoyed this trip and would definitely do it again. Tourism is still new in Uganda but everyone we encountered was hardworking and very nice.

Puik ervaring!! Ernstige, georganiseerde en baie betroubare maatskappy.
It was a great trip, everything planned was fulfilled. Communication with his owner (Justus) was very fluid from the beginning, he was always attentive and willing to clarify my doubts, despite not speaking the same language.
Special mention for the guide (Keneth) a great person, he spoke very good Spanish and very professional.
The accommodations included were all very good as was the food.
Uganda is 'n pragtige land, met baie plekke wat die moeite werd is om te besoek, dis baie vriendelike en glimlaggende mense ...jy kan nie mis om die gorillas te besoek nie...wonderlik!!

Knowledgeable, professional and perfect with kids
Exellent: from the initial communication about the trip, the professionel setup of the intiniary, the knowledgeable guide Malisa and great cook William everything was amazing.
We did a private budget safari 2 adults and 3 kids age 5, 11 and 13 to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Especially our guide Malisa was absolutely amazing with the kids, playing and practicing both English and Swahili with them. All the way encouraging them to be curious and ask question.
As a biologist myself I had tons of questions and Malisa had great answers.
Even when one our kids got sick in the middle of the night both Malisa and William were so professional and trustworthy, no doubt they had tried a bit of everything and knew how to handle the situation.
Very good communication all the way on WhatsApp with the director Daudi.

cooperative operator, well planned and great experiences for little money!
Due to visa problems I had to postpone the tour a couple of times, it was no problem at all. Communication was easy and fast and very polite.
The tour was well organised, we had enough time, no rushing around. Everything timed perfectly.
Didn't expect so much content and experiences for this price.
The safari driver, John, was fun and communicative, he has a lot of experience in his job and you clearly see that he is still enthusiastic about his work and wants to provide amazing experience for every customer. He also knows where to park the Jeep so you can get good shots! (distance to the animals, direction of the sun/shadows etc.)
I enjoyed it a lot, it was an unforgettable journey!
