What travellers are saying
- Vishnu MLondon, UK47 contributionsA lovely experience all around. Universal was very professional and arranged the permit for the gorilla park. The car was very comfortable and everything was arranged very smoothly. Christian was a very good guide and was great company for the journey too and was happy to explain and discuss all facets of Rwanda and its history.
Gorilla experience was absolutely surreal - highly recommend it!Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

And most of all Serge Placide made the entire hike more entertaining. With this activity you get to quickly explore the other beautiful side of Kigali you would rarely side.
Plus the food at Fazenda Sengha exquisite. Highly recommend.Written September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- scockerBalmain, Australia27 contributionsHad two fabulous days with Esther who met me at my hotel and organised for me to trek to Dian Fossey’s grave site and a half day walk around the fields towards Besoke. It was truly magical. I thought being solo it would be hard to organise, especially at such short notice. Esther speaks beautiful English and I really enjoyed her company. Very professional. She also organised my transport back to Kigali.Written June 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AnslieR1 contributionIf you are keen on photographing animals this is the trip for you especially if you are not going to stay in Volcanoes NP. The Golden monkeys are wonderful and there were so many that everyone (you join a tracking group) got excellent opportunities for great photos. It does entail an early start but well worth it. Zidane, the driver, is a lovely young man, a good driver and a great companion. The lunch was the best I had had in Uganda and Rwanda!
Don’t forget to buy your Golden Monkey permit well in advance!Written July 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Jacques D1 contributionI love the experience, and what a privilege to witness such of animals in there own turf. A overcast day is what photographers needs for pictures perfect and thats what we had. The staff (driver) Mico was outstanding, considering the task need, and very helpful with his knowledge, clean and comfortable vehicle, serving me with water and meal . Excellent choice of restaurant for the way home. Thank you to you all, great job.

- Kalisa Safaris and ToursKigali, Rwanda12 contributionsThis December, we held a familiarization trip as a company, left Kigali to Musanze to enjoy activities there. One of these included Mukungwa River Canoe and we had a blast paddling through the rush of water, A very thrilling experience, that teaches teamwork and resilience.Written December 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dave v3 contributionsAmazing adventure with a very knowledgeable and personable guide. Most importantly, communication was phenomenal. We got to meet the owner as well which solidified our choice. Highly recommend this company.Written August 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Suus234Den Bosch, The Netherlands5 contributionsThe communication via email and whatsapp with the manager Jackie is very good and pleasant. A driver picked me up at 4.30am from Kigali for a 2.5h drive to the meeting point. Water was provided and he checked if I was comfortable during the drive.
At the meeting point you meet other people who also booked to see the gorillas. The rest was taking care of by rangers. They guide you to see the gorillas, which is a once in a lifetime experience!
After the hike I met the driver again to go for lunch and then back to Kigali. The driver could be a little better in communication.
Overall a fantastic experience!Written December 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - J. SmallsNew York City, NY27 contributions4/5 … Francis was our tour guide and he was great. The overall experience was amazing. The chance to visit the marketplace and see the locals do their everyday tasks and educate ourselves on their way of living was like no other experience. The only thing my girlfriend and I were unaware of was the 2 hour walk to the village because the description wasn’t clear on that so we ended up going to visit a local’s home closer to the marketplace instead of taking a 4-hour round trip hike. I think the description should detail that more clear because if we didn’t ask how long the walk was, we would have been really disappointed but nonetheless, the tour was a success even though we didn’t take the 2hour hike to the designated village.Written July 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bellevuesummitSeattle, WA77 contributionsEdison was absoluely amazing in organizing the perfect 10+ experience from Rwanda to Uganda tour for 6 of us. Logistics and itinerary of this trip was efficient and so perfect that we also rate it 5 star+ Our guide Freddy is best in class, knowledgeable, caring and safe. He picked us up in the 1-year new Safari truck at the Kigali Fourpoint Sheraton--which is also a great pick-up point and hotel. All the food and accommodations exceeded our expectations, clean, comfortable and delicious. We had absolutely the most amazing time and thought a need to post great reviews for so other travelers may benefit from visiting Rwanda and Uganda with the best travel company possible so they can enjoy the best possible experience. It was truly the treat of a lifetime to visit the Rwanda and Uganda. Bamboo Ecotour is very good and they deserve 6-star or 7-star. All the Gold Monkey, Gorilla, Chimpanzee and cultural experience are must-see. We can not thank enough or say enough good things about Edison and Freddy and this tour.
Thank You Thank You and Thank You!!!Written May 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Raluca DFBaar, Switzerland12 contributionsI would highly recommend booking your next trip to Rwanda and Uganda with Frena Adventures! A friend recommended them also to me and did not disappoint. From the beginning everything was well explained before going on our trip. We discussed a lot of things with Fred, and he answered all of our questions.
The moment we landed in Kigali, we were picked up by our wonderful guide, Ronald. We landed at 4AM, and normally, the tour starts at 6AM, but Ronald was really supportive and understanding and came to pick us up earlier than planned.
We did the golden monkey tour in Volcanoes National Park, a gorilla trekking tour in Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi, a short cruise on Kazinga Channel and also a short safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park. All of the accommodations were really nice and the people were polite and helpful. We were amazed by the 2 countries and we couldn't have chosen a better company for this trip.
Ronald exceeded our expectations with all the knowledge, happy spirit, and different discussions during our meals together. We had a minor problem with entering Uganda, because at the border we didn't receive the online visa that we applied to. Ronald stepped in and talked to the police officer at customs and helped us with the visa. Also the policeman was really understanding and helpful. There was a system problem and because of the Christmas holiday our visa was delayed. But all worked out good in the end.
We surely made a new friend in Ronald and the only sad thing for us was not having more time to discover more of Rwanda and Uganda. We will surely come back and use Frena Adventures again! A big thank you for both Fred and Ronald! Keep up the good job!Written January 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mindy LColumbus, OH286 contributionsWe could not believe how amazing this trip was. It was a long drive from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park starting at 4:00am, but the early morning light with the mist covering the mountains was so beautiful. Our driver was very nice and quite knowledgeable about the country and it's history during our long drive. But the first thing he asked us was why didn't we stay closer to the park. Our travel agent made it quite clear that we had to stay in Kigali and I could not convince them they were wrong, so we had to waste 5 hours driving back and forth. Don't let your travel agent do the same to you!
We had to be there at 7:00am to meet up with our guides and get assigned to our group. We were assigned to the oldest group but that means we got assigned to the closest troop of gorillas. It was still an hour walk from the end of the road to the beginning of the jungle, but our gorillas were only about 100 yards into the jungle. We followed them for another hour through a bamboo grove, then another hour back to the road.
We got scary close to a troop of about 15 gorillas with a single silver back, Malambo, that was 18 years old. It was very clear that they were not even a little nervous around us. Even mothers carrying babies would walk about a foot from you with out looking in your direction.
We were incredibly lucky throughout our trip. The mountain is about 15,000 feet and when clouds hit it, they tend to drop a lot of rain. But we never had any rain. When it rains, the gorillas hide in the bushes to get out of the rain and are really hard to find and see. The bamboo grove we found them in was very open and made it easy to get some great pictures. The rain can also make the walk up through the farm fields a muddy, slippery mess, but we missed out on that too.
Even without any rain, some of the walk was not easy, especially for my wife who has a bad hip. However, at the end of the road, there is a rather large number of people available to hire as porters to help you during the trip. They are only $10 each and well worth it. Even with a couple of porters and guides to help her, my wife slipped crossing a small stream on the way down and twisted her knee. She made it down alright but was too sore to go see the golden monkeys the next day, so it cost us $500 each for the permits and then there was the driver and the guide too.
Even with all of that, it was the most surreal experience of my life and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Come prepared for a rainy muddy mess but pray for sunshine. Don't be a hero, hire a porter or two. By the time you reach the jungle, you are at about 7,000 feet so altitude might be a problem, especially if you have to hike even farther up to reach your troop, which every other group had to do. Bring some cash to tip the guides that lead you and the trackers that follow the gorillas around the clock, and of course your porters. I guarantee that you will never forget this experience!Written November 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They arranged the tour to suit our specifications and were very accommodating.
We loved Rwanda, a beautiful country with warm, hospitable people. We created wonderful memories. Our tour guide, Taufiq was absolutely the best. He is knowledgeable, professional and warm. We felt like family. We will be back.🙏🏽Written November 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My guide, Serge, was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to get along with. He made sure I was taken care of and comfortable throughout the day. The village community we visited was welcoming and I learned a lot! I especially enjoyed watching the dance troupe and learning how local women weave baskets. If you are travelling through Kigali, you need to do this tour!!Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
