We had a fantastic time on our tour with Ronnie. He took great care of us, and everything was arranged very smoothly. The Gorillas were amazing too! Would highly recommend Frena adventures to anybody

Frena was a reliable, and good company to work with. There were no hidden charges - they did all the bookings and the properties they booked were good (I booked the moderate package and felt that things were mostly upto standard with that). My guide was Kendrick - he was really helpful, friendly and punctual. As a solo female traveler, safety was my main concern and I felt that Frena and Kendrick did a great job of ensuring that. I did the Bwindi Gorillas tour and the golden monkeys tour at Volcanoes national park. I would suggest doing the monkeys first and then building upto the gorilla experience. My only complaint was that I was given all the details rather last minute and I was quite anxious because of that (this might be just me because of my solo travel needs)- but if you love a hands off approach then this might be a perfect company for you.

We booked a 2day golden monkey and Bwindi gorilla trek with Frena adventures - with our driver/guide Farouk. He did well on getting us to our activities on time given that we were always behind schedule. The van was very comfortable - i guess as comfortable as you can get while going through the African massage after you cross the border to Uganda. The four gorillas lodge where we stayed had great staff and amaziiiiing views! Very relaxing before our trek for second day. Farouk our guide provided us with snacks and water, also face mask for our trek. So we didn’t have to buy them. He was very helpful, accommodating and very organised. Thank you we had a great 2day adventure!😊
