Excellent Tour Operator
5/5

Thanks so much to Elias for helping to organise our trip, and to Paul for being such an excellent guide. I was amazed and how quickly and efficiently Elias was able to communicate via email. I would literally receive responses within minutes which made planning very easy. He was quickly on hand to amend our plans when the airline changed our flight home. The tour was great, some of the accommodation was really special and memorable and the Gorilla track was a genuine once in a lifetime experience that was worth every cent. I can only encourage anyone looking to travel to East Africa to put your trust in Home to Africa, as I doubt you’ll find a better option in this region that offers such great value.

Èxcellent trip...well organised
5/5

The trip exceeded expectations from the great communication with Elias at the outset to the sad goodbye to our driver/ guide Karim at the end of 16 days. Very well organised, we felt privileged to be shown Uganda by such a great guide and always felt our comfort and enjoyment was Karim's number 1 priority. If I was to change anything it would be to have spent longer with Home to Africa looking after us ...thank you.

Professional guide and a pleasant experience!
5/5

I was going on a gorilla safari with my friend and this was going to be the first ever safari for the both of us. Luckily, the communication with the office was super easy and we got answers to all of the questions we needed. The driver / guide (Sam) was very professional and funny and made our time very pleasant. Also, he had a proper knowledge of the local area close to the Mgahinga national park and he promptly spoke some 7 languages which we thought was super positive.

The safari was surely the highlight of out East African trip!

Great experience at a good price
5/5

Ilya responded promptly to our enquiry, and a few emails later put a schedule that fit our dates and budget.
Karim, our guide was excellent - a font of knowledge about the country, the Parks, the animals, culture and all sorts of other interesting stuff. He was professional, caring and courteous at all times.
The accommodation booked was great and fit our budget.
The parks and the safari were fascinating; a window to Africa. The mountain gorillas in Bwindi were the highlight of our visit and highly recommended in spite the high permit cost.
Thank you to the team for an unforgettable trip!

A great way to see and connect with Uganda, with a Ugandan host.
5/5

We chose Home to Africa because we wanted to use a local Ugandan company. Our safari was everything we had hoped for in terms of the extraordinary parks, the wildlife and the lodges. But what made the trip for us was our guide Derrick who was a genuine and enthusiastic local host. Everywhere we went, we met people who knew and liked him - hotel staff, rangers and other guides - and in each case his contacts added something new to our trip. Elias in the office was clear and helpful as we planned our trip, communication was good and everything went precisely to plan. We will certainly travel with Home to Africa Again.

Communication by email was almost instant which was the reason we chose Home to Africa. Nothing was too much trouble. The safari tour was well up to expectation and the driver/guide tried his utmost to make every day memorable and exceptional.

Well organized trip with friendly driver and friendly office staff.
4/5

Communication was excellent. Planning of the safari was easy. Money transfer however not very smooth.
Service during safari was excellent. Itinerary could have been improved. Visit to Pian Upe was not rewarding. Accommodation was good.
Tyres of car were old leading to flat tyres.
Wildlife sighting was good, Guide gave good explanations especially on birds.

The most memorable experience of our lives..
5/5

We traveled to Uganda to celebrate a milestone 60th birthday of our mom, and to visit her hometown after she left 45 years ago. Home to Africa catered to every piece of this experience, making it the most memorable trip for us. Everything was incredible from the moment online communication started with their team. Responses were prompt, and the planning of our itinerary was easy with their expertise and partnerships with great accommodations and restaurants. Our guide Karim was excellent, had patience, was very informative, and so kind. The entire staff even surprised us with a 60th birthday celebration and cake at their office on our last day. Home to Africa took us safely to the beautiful jungle for gorilla trekking in Bwindi, and then gracefully brought my our mother home - literally to her house - in Bombo where she was born. This company cares. Thanks for an amazing heartfelt experience Elias and Home to Africa!
