Excellent both during booking and on the trip!
Home to Africa were excellent from beginning to end. We initially booked prior to COVID, and throughout the long process of cancellations and restrictions Hedmond, our organiser was incredibly accommodating. Every change and inconvenience was taken in stride.
When we finally arrived in Uganda, we were impressed further with our guide, Balam. We would have seen a fraction of what we did without him. He was incredibly knowledgeable, pragmatic and funny. He always had an interesting story to tell when he wasn't spotting Lions hiding in a bush at 300 yards!
We can comfortably recommend Uganda as an excellent destination if you're looking to go on Safari, and you should absolutely pick Home to Africa to guide you around.

Fantastic experience ... beyond our wildest dreams.
From our first contact with Hedmond at Home to Africa we felt at ease. His communication, outline and explanation of everything were exceptional. All was clearly and concisely explained and outlined in the itinerary.
Our guide Derek (the wonder guide) was exceptional. We hit the jackpot when we got him. His was friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, obliging, very funny and a joy to be around.
The tour was great value for money and at no time did we feel we didn't receive what we paid for.
Thank you so much Hedmond and Derek for everything :-)

GREAT TRAVEL AND GREAT JOB
We were in Uganda with a group of Mexican photographers, we had the pleasure of having Karim and Balam as guides. We had a pleasant experience of the place, the nature and what we were able to observe was spectacular, that hand in hand with the excellent service of both guides, always attentive and attentive to our needs, with great knowledge of the species we observed. We are very satisfied with the service as a whole. Congratulations, you have a great team.

Amazing Tour and Fantastic service
The whole process from booking to the tour itself went really smoothly with Home to Africa Tours.
Our guide was Derrick and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. He was brilliant, courteous, thoughtful and a lot of fun :)
He went above and beyond especially as i was not very well at one point and he made arrangements that i was still able to take part in everything. The Gorillas themselves are stunning to see and it is such an unforgettable experience. The silverback was so impressive.
We went on the 3 Day Bwindi Tour and i would definitely recommend it to anyone. We also loved the stop over on the way back at Lake Bunyoni where we stayed on one of the islands for the night, that was the perfect end to our trip.
Thanks so much Derrick and Home To Africa Tours.

An adventure in Africa we’ll never forget
What an incredible holiday! The team at Home to Africa excelled themselves, delivering a tour of the Masai Mara and surrounding area that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.
From crossing the Masai plains, to a Hippo-filled boat tour and cycling Hell’s Gate national park, our guide, Ken, took care of us from start to finish, creating a superb itinerary. With plenty of off-roading (great fun, but plenty bumpy!), we managed to see everything, from Hippos to Hyenas, Lion cubs to Leopards. The team had a wealth of knowledge about the animals and the area, which our daughter was able to soak up, whilst enjoying the hospitality of an incredibly welcoming group of people.
If you want a private safari that gets you up close and personal with incredible wildlife, whilst soaking up the African culture, we can’t recommend these guys highly enough! This is definitely one for the bucket list.

Uganda Uganda and Home to Africa Have It All!
If you only have time to visit one country it should be Uganda and you should use a local Ugandan company called Home to Africa. Our trip was delayed by two years due to Covid but Hedmond (in the main office) was so patient as we rearranged the trip twice. All done via email. Uganda has it all from primates (gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys-we recommend all three!) to the big 5 (rhinos in their sanctuary and Benon even spotted a leopard!) to local villages and stunning natural beauty (eg-Murchison Falls). We traveled by van with many roads challenging but still would not change a thing as we were able to see how the locals have to manage on a daily basis. There are options to travel by plane. Benon, our driver/guide, was an expert driver and so knowledgeable about the people, places and animals/birds. He would stop for local fruit, roasted banana, corn, cassava. We even found fresh gooseberries! Please ask for him if you use HTA. You can design your own trip with your own driver deciding on the level of the accommodations. It is a bit scary to learn to send a bank transfer for payments but the cost of your trip might be half that of a UK or US company and all the money goes to the local economy.

An travel experience of a lifetime
From the first contact untal leaving, we had the best travel and life experience. Hedmond answered so many questions we had before. Always kind and quickly. We had Derrick the wonder guide as our guide. Thats how we called him, since he was the best. In finding animals, his knowledge and great energy. We had so much fun. Thank you for our experience. We needed 3 days of rest after..to relax from all our great experiences.
