Fantastic, relibale, wel-organized agency, one we will definitely choose again.
We had a fantastic experience with Home To Africa agency and our tour guide Derrick Wadria. Everything was well organized, we stayed in beautiful lodges and so many nice people took good care of us. One particular place will stay in our hearts: Ride 4 A Woman lodge, Bwindi. It's wonderful that Home To Africa supports this initiatief, helping women gain skills and earn their own income to support their families. This lodge is located near the community, where we went for a walk, visited a school, talked to the staff and the children. It was a nice experience to get an impression of the culture and make contact with the local people. We definitely had a good experience thanks to our tour guide Derrick. He is a great driver on the challenging roads of Uganda, which made us feel secure at all times. Derrick has a lot of knowledge about the country, people, nature and all kinds of animals. We had a nice, relaxing atmosphere throughout our travels - whether we were chatting, listening to local music or spotting birds and animals. We are genuinely grateful for his care and knowledge.
Tip: Make sure you have enough cash with you. Getting cash from ATM's is challenging in Uganda. Try to get smaller Ugandese banknotes for tipping the rangers and the people who help with different kinds of activities.
Nice itinerary
We appreciated the office working with us to craft a great itinerary that met our interests. Everyone should stay at Ride 4 A Woman for at least 2 nights. We were disappointed in the quality of the guide. He was late picking us up. He definitely did not offer up a lot of information about the areas we were driving through, but he did answer all of our questions. The car did not have air conditioning. In addition, our luggage did not arrive on our flight. Not the tour company’s fault but we were hoping they would have helped us coordinate the pickup. Instead, we were very thankful that the owner at one of our hotels really stepped up.

What an amazing tour company and an amazing trip.
Home to Africa tours really delivered on a wonderful trip for us. The accommodations were all great. All the food & meals were excellent. Our tour guide Benon was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout our whole trip. He also made sure to help us with our safari checklist of animals we hoped to see, including a shoebill on our way to the airport! So cool! What an amazing trip!
Derek was very knowledgeable and friendly.
I highly recommend this tour company. The accommodations were excellent. We had so many wonderful experiences seeing the wildlife. Our guide, Derek, was great at finding various animals. We were able to see some that are very hard to find. I would definitely book with this company again.

An unforgettable safari experience with Home to Africa and Karim
In July 2024 we did a 10-day safari adventure with Home to Africa, and it turned out to be one of the greatest travels of our lives. From the very first interaction with the tour operator to the farewell at the end, every detail of the trip was impeccably organized and tailored to perfection.
Our guide, Karim, was truly exceptional. His extensive knowledge of wildlife, local culture, and the landscapes of Uganda brought every moment to life. He was not just a guide but also a kind, patient, and incredibly passionate person who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible.
The absolute highlight of our journey was the gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Words cannot do justice to the overwhelming emotions of being just a few feet away from these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Watching the gorillas interact, care for their young, and go about their daily lives was surreal and humbling. It’s a moment we will cherish forever. Karim’s expertise and respectful approach during organization of the trek made it all the more meaningful.
Beyond the gorillas, every day brought new wonders: thrilling game drives through breathtaking savannahs, boat cruises on serene waterways teeming with wildlife, and encounters with elephants, lions, and countless other animals. Each location we visited was a unique chapter in our adventure.
The accommodations (and we opted for budget level) were excellent, offering comfort and beautiful views that perfectly complemented the wilderness experience. The hospitality of the local people was heartwarming, adding another layer of richness to the journey.
Home to Africa and Karim gave us a trip of a lifetime. If you’re considering a safari in Uganda, don’t hesitate to choose them. The combination of stunning landscapes, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and outstanding guidance made this journey beyond extraordinary. We’re already dreaming of the day we can return!
