Highly Recommended for a Great Ugandan Safari & Ape Trekking Experience
We had an amazing trip with Home to Africa Safaris. All questions and communications were prompt and clear, and all lodges used were highly reputable. We particularly enjoyed Haven Lodge in Buhoma, as well as Chimpanzee Guest House, Lake Bunyonyi Rock Resort and Rwakobo Rock.
The Company went to great lengths to ensure a smooth trip during COVID times. Home to Africa was also able to build the required COVID test for departure (as of Feb. 2021) into our already existing itinerary. They worked to find a reputable testing lab close to our itinerary, and arranged so that the test could be taken in transit between two different lodges. This only caused a very minor deviation (2 hours transit/testing time) to our tour to accommodate the test - I was very impressed! All went smoothly and COVID testing results were provided within 24 hours of testing. All other COVID protocols were followed and I would not hesitate to take the trip again, even during the ongoing pandemic.
Of the three safaris taken in multiple countries, our guide, Karim, was the best I’ve experienced. Karim has a keen eye on spotting birds and game I would have never had seen, and also has a vast knowledge on these species which he uses to educate you during your trip. Karim’s knowledge on Ugandan wildlife far exceeded my expectations and he possesses an extensive expertise far greater than most guides. While we were not on a bird safari, Karim’s great proficiency of Ugandan fowl turned out to be an unexpected gem of the trip. He is very articulate and organized - we felt we were in very good hands with Karim! Dinners with Karim were also particularly enjoyable and we learned a great deal about Ugandan culture through our conversations. I would highly recommend requesting him for your trip.

Amazing experience
Thank you for the unforgettable experiences I had in Africa thanks to Home To Africa Tours and Travel. It was my and my husband's first trip to Africa and our fears were dispelled as soon as we arrived. We saw wonderful places, met wonderful nice people who took care of our comfort. Guides Jean Paul, Suleyman and Karim showed us the most beautiful things in their country.
Karim, thank you for your professionalism, care, willingness and for all the interesting information about Uganda that we learned from you. You are the best!
Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania - goodbye!

Increadible insights into the pearl of africa
We, a group of 6 friends, did a 3.5 week tour with Home to Africa through Uganda and Kenya with a major focus on Uganda. In Kenya we only spent 2 days in the Buffalo Springs NP and the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. We choose Home to Africa based on its positive reviews and the good price performance ratio.
In a nutshell, the trip was an unforgettable experience, both in terms of wildlife experience as well as in getting insights about the incredibly rich and welcoming cultures of the two countries.
Having done already safaris in Tanzania and Botswana earlier, our focus in Uganda were the primates. But as we went through the different parcs, we quickly understood the Uganda has far more to offer than just Gorillas and Chimpanzees. We were actually discovering as many animals there as we did in Tanzania or Botswana. The two parcs in Kenya proved to be good choices to avoid the crowds in Masai Mara.
Not knowing anything about Uganda, we went there open minded and we were startled by the varity and richness of this country. It offers anything from mountain rain forests to plane savannas in the rift valley, lakes and hilly regions with honest, heartfelt and respectful people. We felt save at any point in time.
I would definitely choose Home to Africa again as a tour operator if I choose to go back into one of the two countries and I would like to thank Derrick and Jeremy for guiding us through this tour. Not only did they have a deep understanding of the wildlife but they also provided us with a lot of information about their countries and their cultures (something I was missing on the other safaris).
I really appreciated the way Home to Africa included the local villages into their tours by offering them the opportunity to act as local guides. This gave the trip a unique touch and left us with the feeling that we did something good for people living next to parc.
Thank you again to Derrick, Jeremy and the entire Home to Africa team!

As good as it gets!
Communication was excellent from the first to the last email. Our guide Gunn is a super driver and a good spotter of animals. We had no problems whatsoever during our tour of 12 days. Nice lodges and wonderful places we visited. We would definitely book through this tour operator again.

Our first experience in Uganda
Its still like a dream , I cant believe all that I saw in a wonderful small country Uganda.
Home To Africa Tours and Travel took amazing care of us throughout our three day excursion. They were also incredibly helpful in getting the safari set up and having all bookings taken care of for us in advance. I searched on google for almost most tour companies in uganda, we selected Home to Africa Tours and travel because their budget was affordable and they were so fast and quick at responding to your emails and all the questions. Elephants, giraffe, deer, antelope, warthogs, hippopotamus, crocodiles, hyena, lion, beautiful birds, and a leopard. It was incredible! The boat ride up the nile to Murchison Falls is a must do and a perfect way to end the tour. I Did not have any Idea on how beautiful Uganda is . wow, I highly recommend Home to Africa Tours and travel for anyone who is interested in adventuring Uganda to its fullest .

Fantastic time in Uganda with Home To Africa Tours and travel.
In June, I , my wife and my 4 children planned to make a trip to Africa, we urgued on which country to go to. My elder son suggested Uganda . We contacted several companies regarding our trip to Uganda but we selected Home To Africa Tours and Travel company because of the way were packages were setup, had a unique approach to packaging of tours and their budget was affordable.
My family and I have just returned from a two week trip round southwestern Uganda (Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Lake Mburo). Our driver/guide, Paul, was a fount of knowledge, a superb driver and a real pleasure to be with for the whole of the trip. We have come back keen to visit other parts of Uganda in the future and would definitely go to Home To Africa Tours and Travel Again . We already miss Uganda. we will surely send more of our friends to Home To Africa Tours and Travel.

spending my holidays in Western Uganda was best experience
In June 2016 i decided to spend my holidays in western Uganda East Africa. I loved the hospitality of Ugandan's. I think will never forget the day I saw a number of zebra feeding with long horned cows. Thanks to mr Paul the guide from Home to Africa Tours and Travel. He filimed for me a video as i was milking a long horned cow. Whenever my children watch my five minutes clip I find them laughing. iI also Thank Home To Africa Tours and Travel you cars were ever clean and your guide was very friendly. Next holiday I will book and come with all my family members

Amazing
.... My brother and I did a 7-day gorilla trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with Home To Africa Tours and Travel. Overall, we were lucky that the day we went for gorilla trekking it never rained yet it had heavily poured the day before. We appreciate Home to africa tours and travel staff for their wide experience .
We promise to come back soon

Lake Mburo safari - great trip!
I had two days in Uganda to make a small safari - Home to Africa Tours offered me a splendid tour to Lake Mburo National Park with great game drives and a bot trip on a big lake to spot hippos, of which I got to see many. This park was a beautiful destination, and only 4,5 driving from Entebbe, which offered me the opportunity to also view something of Uganda itself. The service and tailor made attitude of Home to Africa Tours was fantastic - they were very responsive, reliable, to the point and very clear in their communication. Lake Mburo does not offer the Big 5 but as I was limited in my time and this park was my best option, I thoroughly appreciated the game drives there (with a great and competent guide!) in which I got to spot giraffes, zebras, warthogs, vulgars, birds, hippos and many antelopes and deers. The accommodation (lovely safari lodge) was at the edge of the park, very hospitable people with good food accompanied by a good glass of wine of you like. I would definitely choose Home to Africa Tours again my I have the opportunity to do a next safari in Uganda - they offer many different tours.
