Best experience in my life!!
5/5

I spent almost 4 months in Uganda for work and I took the opportunity to visit this magnificent country in free moments. I immediately entrusted Elias and his staff and I have to say that I could not make a better choice.
Having also known other companies operating in Uganda I must say that Home to Africa is unrivaled.

We stayed at Murchison Park, in Jinja, Lake Mburo and ssipi falls and in each of these adventures we always found impeccable service. Everything is organized down to the smallest detail and even any contingencies are managed in the best way.

Elias and his staff are super nice and very available, and you immediately notice that they are driven by a great passion for their work.

The accommodations are the top that you can find in Uganda in terms of cleanliness and comfort.

I must say that I was really excited about how everything was organized and that for 4 months they really made me feel at home in a magnificent country.

I recommend it to everyone and especially to those who want to relax and enjoy nature without having to think about anything.

A fantastic experience from start to finish
5/5

My first contact with Home to Africa was a phonecall from Elias in response to my email enquiry. From then on, his responses to questions and itinerary changes were always fast and positive. Our safari was 2 weeks for 4 people, and I have nothing but good things to say. The organisation was perfect, the hotels chosen for us were fantastic, the vehicle comfortable and suitable for the conditions, and the guide/driver unbelievable! Paul is an excellent and safe driver, his ability to find animals and position the car for the photography, and his exceptional love of birds made our trip absolutely perfect. He enjoys his job and the wildlife so much that it added to our enjoyment and wonder of this fabulous country. There was a highlight every day, and he did his best to make our trip a very memorable event. So, my sincere thanks to Paul and Elias for making all our dreams of Uganda a reality.

Awesome
5/5

I loved my 15 day Ugandan holiday, the country was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined. This was my third trip to Africa so I knew what I wanted and I also knew that Australian companies could not supply it for me. All my enquiries were promptly answered by Elias during the planning stage. My tour was designed for me and included 2 gorilla treks in different sectors which were amazing! My guide Karim did every thing to ensure my holiday was perfect. As a solo female traveler I was a bit apprehensive about a one on one tour, but from the moment we met at Entebbe airport, we started a fabulous adventure. Karim shared my love of photography and gave me every opportunity to capture all the pics I wanted.
Thanks so much Home to Africa, I will see you again

Excellent service and outstanding professionalism, this is a company you can trust.
5/5

We contracted H to A to help us organize transportation and accommodations for a conference. Our organization is located in Canada, and we needed to organize these plans at a distance and on very short notice. H to A had the most competitive bid, and were able to accommodate us on extremely short notice (less then one week). They had everything arranged to our specifications, and worked with our travelers to resolve any challenge they had. From our side, the process of working with them was seamless. They kept us in communication to quickly resolve issues. The feedback from our participants was the same- they found the staff very kind and helpful, and the drivers were very detail oriented and professional. Overall, we cannot recommend them highly enough. If you are doing business at a distance, this is a partner you can trust.

An amazing trip to Uganda
5/5

We came back early April from an amazing 8 day trip to Uganda with Home to Africa.
Everything turned out really well. Booking was a breeze. All inquiries were answered clearly and promptly by Elias.
We were very happy to have Karim as our driver/guide. The itinerary we had entailed driving very long hours under less than ideal driving conditions. Stretches of roads were unpaved or under repair. Despite this, he was always a cool, calm, and careful driver. He was very knowledgeable with animals including the many different bird species we encountered. He was very friendly and always went out of his way to accommodate our requests. The trip felt more like traveling with a friend.
Uganda is a wonderful place to visit. If you are planning a trip, I highly recommend Home to Africa as a tour company and Karim as a guide.

A once in a lifetime experience

As a family, best vacation ever. Home to Africa arranged a perfect trip for us. Extremely professional service, a wonderful guide (Derrek) and very good price for what you get. Go to Uganda and we can strongly recommend Home to Africa.

A fantastic trip around Uganda and all that it offers
5/5

If you are interested in a once in a lifetime safari and to get the full experience of Africa and its nature and lifestyle I would highly recommend Home to Africa.

You are supplied with a driver who takes you around Uganda and its national parks who is a local and therefore very knowledgable about what you are experiencing. We had the fantastic Derrick who was humble, caring and very skilled at his job. Ask for him, you will be so satisfied!

If you happen to be interested in going to Uganda I would suggest booking for as many days as you can since there is so much to see. Fantastic national parks, waterfalls, the Nile, villages and the primate trekking is stunning and something you don't want to miss out on.

The lodges where you are staying are very comfortable and the food is amazing.

Note that if you are embarking on this journey you will need to adapt to the safari "lifestyle" and be prepared with comfortable walking shoes, sporty outfits and some sort of headwear. Pack your rainclothes and wellington boots, especially if you are going chimp-trekking which is situated in the rain forest. When in contact with the Home to Africa office don't be afraid to ask what they think you should pack for the trip since it is pretty hard to imagine what you will be needing while in Uganda. For us Scandinavians who are used to a totally different climate it would have been great if we had gotten a bit more help with our packing, so be sure to ask either the office or someone you know who is familiar with this type of trip.

If you are going to do the Gorilla trekking, which is breathtaking, take a long hard honest look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are able to climb hilly muddy mountains with thick forrests and steep paths. We struggled with this trekking since we are not an active family and it would have been nice to know what we were getting ourselves into. It is NOT a walk in the park, it is trecherous, but definately worth it.
