Trekking in Chimpanzee habituation, amazing!!!
What a great experience! In complete journey of 5 day tour, we Spent one full day with the chimps at Kibale National Forest. I really loved to follow them from the moment they wake up to the end of the day, as we left at the end of the afternoon, being tired after a trekking of 8 hours in the jungle. The only part of tour that we didn't like is when some of other groups of tourists came to disturb the quietness of the jungle to see the chimps that we found, early in the morning. But it was just for an one hour. Except that hour, we were only the 4 of us, with the ranger and the chimps. With their help we learned a lot about them. The ranger knew them very well, like if they were members of her family. It was super exciting as they were so close to us. I would go back again and with same company as well.

A great way to see and connect with Uganda.
We chose Freka African Holidays because we wanted to use a local Ugandan company. Our safari was everything we had hoped for in terms of the extraordinary parks, the wildlife and the lodges. But what made the trip for us was our guide Ronald who was a genuine and enthusiastic local host. Everywhere we went, we met people who knew and liked him - hotel staff, rangers and other guides - and in each case his contacts added something new to our trip. Josephine in the office was clear and helpful as we planned our trip, communication was good and everything went precisely to plan. We will sure travel with Freka African Holidays again.

Adventure in QENP
This National Park is really a Huge, Almost 2000 sq on. To start our trekking we reached early about 6:30 am to see animals diversity and that are nocturnal. We managed to see the lions relaxing under trees and at a sudden he walked very close to our vehicle. We saw herds of Kob mating as well as water buck and cape buffalo. Saw a huge herd of hippos in water calling to each other as well as a lone hippo in a small pond who had been banished from the group. Also saw a few warthogs and Franklins. We only covered a very tiny portion of the park and saw lots of wildlife.
This was done just with the help of East African Jungle Safaris as their great management.

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.

13 Days Safari and Beach with Hodari Kenya Safaris
My fiance and i had been saving to travel to Africa for three years, after serious soul searching , we finally settled on Kenya. We had trouble finding the best tour company as there were many to choose from but we did choose Hodari Kenya Safaris,am glad to say that that is one of the best decisions we made on this trip.
We wanted a good feel of Kenya and its culture so we settled on the 13 Days 12 Nights. From the reception at the airport to the warm and kind people, Kenya's breathtaking and varied landscapes and its astonishing, unrivalled and
magnificent wildlife left us all grateful,humbled and forever changed by this experience.
I would especially like to thank Maureen for her warmth and helpful guidance prior to and after our safari. She was unfailingly good natured and patient.
No words can describe our grateful appreciation for Karori, our drive and guide for his incredible knowledge and patience; his extraordinary
skill at driving difficult terrain; his absolute empathy and conservation interest in the Kenyan wildlife; his exceptional eagle-eyed observational ability at
pointing out inconspicuous plant or wildlife created life-long magical memories.
It is as a result of his kindness and interest that we decided to extend our trip by one day. All accommodations were wonderful and the food was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented !
We would like to say Asantii sana to Hodari Kenya Safaris for going out of their way to ensure that we had a memorable experience.We highly recommend you and will sure come back again very soon.

The Best Safari Ever
Our guide Anderson is the best, he pulled all stops to give us the best safari trip ever showing us around Tanzania which is a beautiful country and equally beautiful and friendly people. We had an amazing time visiting locations in Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. Each park is quite different from the other and it was special going with such an experienced guide who knew the active spots, best for spotting animals, breathtaking views and a go between with indigenous Bushmen and Maasai.
It was both interesting and exciting experience to visit Africa and we loved it all.
Migration Venture is the best!

Amazing Selous and Mikumi Trip
We couldn't possibly recommend Wild Gaze Safaris enough for the wonderful memories we carried with us on the 8 days Selous and Mikumi National Park bespoke itinerary. Ernest made booking pretty smooth and straightforward. The trip was a great adventure as we saw a huge number of birds and animals, enjoyed the pristine parks in seclusion. I cannot fault anything on this well organized trip that was above what we anticipated.
We hope to return in the near future.

Perfect Stop at Queen Elizabeth Nationall Park
Queen Elizabeth NP was one of the most adventures place of the trip. We really enjoyed the safari trip on the Kazinga channel. Got a chance to saw a lot of elephants taking a bath that day. Animals we saw in the park, were mostly near the water during the trip.
On next day morning we did the lion tracking. That was Kind of really special as we saw some other mammals like Giant forest hog, Bush bucks, Kobs, Hyenas. Once we found the lions, it was not really amazing to see just because they wear a collar. I know they need the collar to be tracked, but still. It looks like a big pet cat this way. We being allowed to go off track was pretty cool.
During the lion tracking we also saw a leopard and that made the day and it made the whole experience worth going to. Wow, what a beast was that.
For safaris I would recommend spending more time to this Queen Elizabeth NP.

This Park is Absolutely Amazing Place
Me and my Partner travelled to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Junuary 2020 and we had a great experience with Frena Adventures.
We tracked a family of 15 Gorillas. which was quite difficult in some very rugged terrain but well worth it when you catch up to them. Just sitting and watching them makes you realize how close to humans they are. It was an absolutely amazing experience and well worth it.

Adventure of Africa Tours and Gorilla tracking- in Uganda.
I was in Rwanda to see my friend for a week and contacted to Kaara Adventures, one month before to arrange a gorilla tracking tour. At first, I thought to track the gorillas in Rwanda but not enough limited time I had available for my vacation. For the solution, Jose then recommended to go to Bwindi National Park in Uganda. He organised a tour for me only - single person - private tour and truly an excellent choice! All staff at Kaara Adventures were extremely responsive to all my queries, knowledgeable in preparation of the trip and guided me professionally throughout complete tour. I am extremely happy with my gorilla experience! Thank you to Jose and Samuel at Kaara Adventures!
