Great guys and very professional service
Home to Africa arranged our safari in Uganda, organized permits for Gorilla and Chimpanzee visits. Everything was impeccably planned and executed. Before and during the trip we always felt perfectly informed and well taken care of. During planning, Elias was highly flexible and created an itinerary tailored to us. Benon was a great tour guide with knowledge about all animals and birds we encountered. He is also a very likable person and we felt very secure with him all the time. We especially valued his punctuality and high standards of professionalism. Thanks again for the wonderful time and we can highly recommend going on a safari with this agency. Not least for the cool gift they extend to you at the end!

Perfectly well organized safari
From the beginning of the booking process until the end of the safari in Ruanda the manager of Home to Africa Tours was very responsive and took great care if my individual requests. Benon who accompagnied me during my trip from Entebbe via Murchison Falls National Park and Kampala to Rwanda was an excellent guide and a safe driver. The Murchison Falls NP experience was way well beyond my expectations - fantastic game drive and boat tour on the Nile. The Murchison Falls Lodge was a great basis for our excursions. I can fully recommend Home to Africa Tours to others who would want to make an excellent first hand experience of Uganda.

Excellent service from first contact.
Fantastic trip, everyday was an adventure. Great service from Elias in the office, who always replied promptly and answered our questions. Our driver Karim was just excellent, experienced, knowledgeable, helpful , great sense of humour; nothing was too much trouble. He really made the trip special. Thank you Karim.
We did the 7 Day Murchison Falls, Budongo Chimps, Bwindi Gorilla Trekking. We also asked for a change in itinerary and went to visit the Polish Church near Massindi, this was done without any problem. Every day was different and a real adventure, there were some long drives but you never get bored seeing the different landscapes, the sights, the people and of course the wildlife. The accommodation and food was good, apart from Bwindi, where we had a change in itinerary and had a very basic hotel.
I highly recommend Home to Africa, we had excellent service from start to finish.

Awsome 8-day-Safari in Uganda
This tour really surpasses our expectations of Uganda. This country is definitely the pearl of Africa.
Organization:
From the first contact to the drop-off at the airport, every detail was well organized by Elias, the owner of Home To Africa and Karim, our guide. We had a very nice call with Carina, the German Customer relations manager of Home To Africa. All of them did a great job and made our trip truly amazing.
Uganda:
This country is very friendly and safe in our opinion. People were very helpful and grateful, that people come to visit their country. Children waving on the streets. No one tries to scam tourists. We fell in love with Uganda and its natural beauty.
Tour:
Hot savannah in the north. Cold mountain forests in the south. The tour covers almost the whole diversity of Uganda. Our highlights were the gorillas of the mist in Bwindi, the chimpanzees of Kibale and Murchison Falls national park wildlife.
Food and Drinks:
We enjoyed a full board service during our trip – breakfast and dinner in the lodges and lunch as a picnic in the national parks.
Lodges:
We had different standards ranging from comfort to luxury – but all were amazing in their own way. Some convinced with their food, some with exceptional service, others with breathtaking locations. We would return to every single one.
Guide:
Karim was like a father to us. He made us feel comfortably during the whole tour and made us familiar with Uganda´s culture, food, landscapes and wildlife. Karim was the reason, why we fell in love with this country so much. At the end of our trip we, felt like a little family.
Conclusion:
This tour is highly recommendable and perfect to get to know the Pearl of Africa. Home To Africa is an amazing tour operator and showed us, that Uganda has a lot more to offer than only its gorillas.
Efficient and very friendly
Well before we came to Ugadan we already had a safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania , so the attractive part of Ugadan should be the chimpanzee and gorilla bwindi mountain tracking, we enjoyed our days here but the lunch box prepared by the lodge was terrible and not even fresh some food was overnight leftover , so please feedback to them because the client will have stomach upset after having those food , staffs are very helpful and polite all the accommodation arrangement was acceptable and the service of our tour guide was excellent .he was a great guide and experienced but only thing that wakes up too early for us every day and at 5.30 am and too tired after three weeks traveling the rest were perfect thanks

Derrick was extremely proficient and knowledge about our trip and was very helpful.
As my dad organised the bulk of the trip, his review is more relevant.

Super company!
Great experience with this company. From the start it was well organised. The booking was easy, the itinerary had to be swapped around as they couldn’t get passes for the gorillas so we ended up doing the route backwards to everyone else but we felt this was actually better!
Upon arrival Derick our guide was ready and waiting. He was superb the whole trip. Super helpful, knowledgable about the wildlife but also a good laugh! There is a bit of driving involved and you need that banter to make the drives more enjoyable.
Can not fault the company. Even though we had a mechanical issue with the car one day a solution was found quickly and we didn’t miss out on anything.

Outstanding service
Everything since the first contact was very clear and straightforward. Quick responses and very kind service.
During the safari, everything was very well taken care of and my guide was just amazing. He did everything to make sure my experience was the best.
The accommodations were just beautiful and comfortable (except for one of them) and food was delicious. Their staff and service was always beyond amazing.
All the activities and game drives were well organized
I would absolutely recommend Home to Africa :)
