We just returned from the 3-day tour with Freka, trekking for gorillas in Uganda and golden monkeys in Rwanda. The trip was action-packed but still had plenty of downtime to relax after long hikes. Despite being a short trip, the itinerary was perfectly organized to make the most of every moment. From the initial briefing to the final drop-off, every detail was thoughtfully planned. We only had 3 days for the tour but if we had more, I wish we went trekking for chimps as well, we had such a great time. Our guide Ronald was the best. He kept everything moving seamlessly. We were never out of place, late, hungry/thirsty, or confused about what to do or where to go. His expertise in navigating the terrain, combined with his deep knowledge of the wildlife and local culture made the experience truly special. He also brought us to some great restaurants and shops along the way. The hotels were good, beds comfortable, and the staff put hot water bottles in the sheets to warm them up. Fair warning, internet/electricity not very reliable up in the hills in Uganda. We had an incredible holiday and everything from the itinerary, guide, value, etc. was 5/5 stars. Can't recommend Freka enough.

Gorilla of Rwanda
What a wonderful trip, we had an amazing time in Rwanda, we did our gorilla trip to volcanoes. This was so credible, seeing this place is great, with different types of monkeys, birds. Seeing gorillas in this forest, is so wonderful, these gorillas are very breath taking, seeing them doing there daily activities is great and wonderful. Seeing the rolling hills and green vegetations, and the busy towns, and welcome people, Our accommodation was really so amazing that it was it next to the national park which makes be close to nature. Our guide Godwin was so great and well informed and organized, We really thank you guys for the amazing arrangements and wonderful experience to Rwanda, so amazing.
