Amazing experience with Frena adventures!!
We have just finished our Uganda-Rwanda trip and let me just say that both Fred and Ronald have been exceptional from the very beginning with the trip organisation to the final result!! Fred was very patient giving us advise of what was possible to visit in the time that we had available, including activities or discarding things that were impossible due to lack of time. After the trip, we can only think that his advises were all right! Then Ronald, who has been our guide and driver, has been amazing, he is a very experienced guide, kind, funny, helpful, committed and, most of all, he gave us the feeling of security at all times!! He suggested additional visits whenever possible and knows everyone around, which is great for getting always the best spots and experiences! We strongly recommend Frena if you are planning to visit Uganda or Rwanda!

Amazing Gorillas and Chimps, Comfortable Journey with Frena Adventures
Frena Adventures provided me with a quote immediately and offered a discounted price when I added an additional person to my tour. Our driver picked us up as soon as our flight landed in Entebbe, being very accommodating of our 5am arrival time. The driver was skilled with the various road conditions, keeping us safe. We stopped at clean washrooms along the way, and had delicious buffet style lunch. The lodges selected for mid-range had gorgeous views and were clean. We were able to stay at three lodges during our experience, allowing us to see an additional lake and enjoy a beautiful boat ride. Each lodge took our breakfast and lunch orders in advance, being mindful of the timing of each excursion. When we reached Bwindi National Park for the gorillas, Frena Adventures ensured we had the option of a porter for the hike. For the chimpanzees, Frena Adventures briefed us on the flat terrain and walking requirements in advance. Frena Adventures was mindful of our flight departure time and took us to our requested shops for souvenirs during our journey. Moreover, Ronald was an excellent driver and guide, making our experience very pleasant! I absolutely recommend Frena Adventures for your Uganda ecotourist experience.

A great experience with Isa!
In December 2024, I did a four-day tour with Frena Adventures, and everything was great. Everything went so well, largely thanks to Isa, my fantastic guide. In addition to being an excellent driver, he knows Uganda well and knows a lot about the wildlife in the areas we visited. He was always present, attentive, and communicative and considered my preferences. Our accommodations exceeded my expectations, and all the meals were delicious. The gorilla trekking and the chimpanzee were fantastic. Also, we had a lovely drive along the Queen Elizabeth National Park. Isa was very committed to finding as many animals as we could. My only complaint is not having had more time to spend at least a couple of nights in each of the accommodations I stayed in. Without a doubt, I would repeat this with Frena Adventures and especially with Isa.

4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.
How much does 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks cost?
+
Prices start at $2,300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.
Is 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kigali?
+
On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kigali?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kigali?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and Parking fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 16 listed pickup locations in and around Kigali. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to 4 Days Gorilla Trekking, Lake Bunyonyi and Rwanda National Parks if the weather is bad?
