Derek was very knowledgeable and friendly.
5/5

I highly recommend this tour company. The accommodations were excellent. We had so many wonderful experiences seeing the wildlife. Our guide, Derek, was great at finding various animals. We were able to see some that are very hard to find. I would definitely book with this company again.

The trip was incredible, from the acommodations, to the itinerary, to transportation, to our guide.
5/5

We couldn't have chosen a better company to organize our Ugandans trip with. From the begging, Home to Africa´s staff was very attentive and allowed us to organize our trip according to our preferences and budget. Everything was incredible, from the accommodations, to the itinerary, to the transportation. And of course, we can´t not mention our amazing guide, Brian. Extremely careful, attentive, patient and always worried that everything with our trip was allright. We are beyond thankful for the opportunity of knowing Uganda and its people. We were amazed by the country and the kindness of Ugandans and we hope that this was the first of many visits.

Way beyond my expectations! 5 Star!
5/5

If you ever booked a trip through international travel agent, you know that the first day equals to arrival, the last day equals to departure, a 13-day trip will leave you 11 days. But this is not the case for this local travel agent Home To Africa Tours and Travel: I was picked up in the early morning on day 1 from Kigali airport in Rwanda, driven entire day to Nyungwe Forest National Park. The next morning, my guide Theo picked me up at 4am from the hotel, drove to the National Park for Chimpanzee Trekking. In the next few days, I hiked to 12,000 ft Mount Bisoke, did Golden Monkey trekking. Then I was transferred to Uganda, started 8-day safari in this Pearl of Africa.

I have done many safaris in other part of Africa, like Tanzania, Namibia and South Africa, but the safari experience in Uganda was way beyond my expectations: I saw almost all kinds of wild animals, and so many of them, even including the very illusive leopard with twin babies 2 meters away! These could happen all because of my guide William from Home To Africa Tours and Travel, he cherished my time even more than me: we were the first left the safari lodge every morning and the last left the National Park, so we could encounter so many amazing animals in the early hours and late hours of the day.

William did not want me to have any regret before leaving his country: after knowing that I did not have the luck to see chimps in Rwanda, he rearranged a Chimpanzee Trekking in Uganda for me. With a local guide and only myself, I had the chance to see more than 20 chimps in the family of 58, including many playful babies and juveniles! I could not say enough Thank You to William!

On the last day of my 13-day safari in Rwanda/Uganda, we needed to drive 7 hours to airport to catch my flight at 6pm, they still fit me in with one-hour Rhino Trekking, I was lucky enough to see baby Rhino suckling!

Not only the guides, the staff at Home To Africa Tours and Travel were extremely helpful too, they provided me all the detailed information, answered my question literally in a few minutes—then I realized sometimes it was already past their midnight—I felt guilty and started to think about their time before emailing questions.

Anyway, this was my best safari experience ever! Highly recommended.

Exciting, satisfying, and worth it!
5/5

My wife and i took Home to Africa’s 4-Day Short Vacation to Uganda - Gorilla Trekking Bwindi.

The tour exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were lovely.

Zed our guide was very helpful, informative and funny. He was very animated and always makes sure that the long drives were lively.

The gorilla trek was exhilarating (even with the challenging hike up, haha). Seeing the gorillas up close is really a once in a lifetime experience.

Unforgettable safari in Uganda, full of magnificent wildlife
5/5

I recently completed a 6-day safari with Home to Africa in August 2024, and it was nothing short of excellent. I am fully satisfied with the entire experience!

From the moment I started the booking and organization process, Home to Africa provided highly professional service. They always responded within a few hours, consistently providing the information I needed, which gave me great confidence that I had chosen the right travel agency.

The safari itself was exceptional, thanks to my guide, Vianney. Everything was well organized, and Vianney's warm and welcoming manner made the experience even more enjoyable. What truly stood out was his deep knowledge of Uganda, its wildlife, and its natural beauty. I learned so much about the country and its incredible wildlife, and thanks to Vianney's expertise, we managed to spot and observe many animals.

Thank you very much for an unforgettable safari!

4D/3N Gorilla Trekking + Lake Mburo
5/5

We did 4 days Tour with Equator, Gorilla Trekking and Lake Mburo and were super satisfied with the trip!
Derrick Wadria was the perfect guide, funny, knowledgeable and very flexible to meet our needs and schedule.
He had always a smile on his face and this made our trip unforgettable. He also bought bananas and pineapple from the local vendors for us to try and they were delicious.
The meals were always tasty, the quantity was adequate and the places we slept in were really charming.
The setting of the tents in Bwindi was really magic and we loved the night fireplace and the garden around them.
The tent in Lake Mburo was amazing, unfortunately we only slept 1 night there - but the view above the savanna was breathtaking.
Also the management was very accommodating and reassuring as we had to adapt the standard itinerary to our afternoon flight.

Only con was the car, we didn’t get the typical safari jeep but a tourist van - it was okayish but the front seats were staying right above the engine and sometimes it was too warm - plus the windows were smaller.
Plus, please include in the list of what to bring the gloves for gorilla trekking - it was not nice to unexpectedly pay 10$ for a set of gloves.

If we ever come back to Uganda we will definitely book again with Home to Africa and possibly Derrick as guide :)
Thank you!

Wonderful trip thanks to them
5/5

It was a huge success to book our 8-day safari with them, they helped us from the first moment to have everything we needed for our trip, but the best part was yet to come and that was meeting our guide Derrick who is a fun, cheerful and He loves his job and shows it in every moment of the safari you spend with him. Without a doubt, the best thing we could choose was Home to Africa with Derrick!
Every second of this safari was truly wonderful!!
