A wonderful western Uganda experience
My husband and I traveled with Home to Africa in June 2016 and I can say that their services were remarkable. The prices were affordable and a wonderful surprise when we arrived at our accommodation; with friendly staff an lovely food. I recommend home to Africa tours and travel.

Unforgettable safari in Uganda, full of magnificent wildlife
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
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
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!!

Perfect 11 day tour
I went on a 11 day tour around Uganda, with serveral nationalparks and of course chimpanses and gorillas.
Karim was a perfect guide and we had many interesting talks about the animals and Uganda.
Karim is also a very good driver and the lodges were also very nice.
If I come back to Uganda with my family I Will definetly go with Home to Africa and ask for Karim as my guide.

The Perfect Honeymoon- Highly Recommend Home to Africa and William :-)
My husband and I had the most incredible honeymoon in Uganda by booking a 6 Day African Safari and Gorilla Trekking with Home to Africa. Our guide, William, made it such a memorable experience for us. He arranged lots of surprises for us during the trip, with our accommodation decorated in petals, a celebratory honeymoon cake and a private candle lit dinner out in the trees; we truly could not have asked for anything more.
Every one of the lodges we visited were in the most amazing settings and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Uganda truly has the most beautiful scenery that either of us had ever seen. We were having such an amazing time on our tour that we asked William to extend it by one more day and I only wish we could have done more. My advice to anyone booking this would be to take more time at each of the lodges, as each of them have their own special qualities and there is so much to experience.
We were both very excited about the gorilla trekking and it still exceeded our expectations. Words cannot describe what it is like being up so close to these magnificent animals. I just wish we could do it all over again.
All of the nature and wildlife in Uganda is fantastic. As keen birders we were trying to find as many new species as we could on our trip and again William was a great help to us with this. His expertise coupled with the assistance of the knowledgeable staff at each location helped us see over 150 new species within a week. With over 1100 species in Uganda, anyone interested in birds will not be disappointed.
We both highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it and want to say one last massive thank you to William for giving us such a special and memorable honeymoon, with memories that we will treasure forever.

Amazing 10 Day Safari Tour
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Home To Africa on our 10 day Big 5 Safari tour. Derrick our driver and guide was incredible and made us feel welcome to Uganda right when we arrived and went out of his way to make sure every part of our tour went smoothly and stress-free. You could tell right away Derrick was very experienced, well known around the accommodations and national parks and extremely knowledgeable with the animals, primates and birds in Uganda. Any questions we had he knew the answers to and would even provide additional information. We were fortunate enough to see everything we wanted to see on our Safaris and can confidently say Derrick had a large part of it based on his experience and knowledge of the parks. He was always on the lookout for wildlife even when we weren't in the parks and spotted a Shoebill off the side of the road on our way back to Entebbe. The Home To Africa tour was well planned out, accommodations were great with a variety of different types of stays (glamping, treehouse, lake cabin, etc). The food provided and locations chosen for meals were great and had variety. Overall, I would highly recommend Home To Africa not only for the amazing tours but also for the value.

Great tour operator and guides, they provided everything they promised and more
After extensive research we booked a custom two-week tour of Rwanda and Uganda with Home to Africa. We have been to Africa many times, including a number of self-driving trips, but decided that it made more sense to do a guided tour.
Happily, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Home to Africa. Everything was well-organized, the driver/guides were great and the accommodations were first rate, even though this was billed as a budget/mid-range trip.
Our trip started in Kigali, Rwanda, where we were picked up at the airport by our driver, Ben. The next day we made the long drive to Nyungwe National Park. The following day we did the chimp tracking. Unfortunately, Joanne fell and hurt her wrist, so Ben took us to a hospital to get an X-ray. Apparently, it was not broken, but did prevent us from doing the next day's long hike up Mt. Bisoke. Ben was great in coming up with alternative activities for the day, at no additional cost, so the day was not wasted.
After we visited the golden monkeys (well worth it), Ben drove us to the border of Uganda where we were waved through without even having to show our passports. We met Eli, our new driver, and transferred our luggage. In Uganda they drive on the left, whereas in Rwanda it's on the right.
In Uganda we did many of the popular activities, beginning with the mandatory gorilla tracking in Bwindi and including Queen Elizabeth NP, the Kazinga Channel, Kibale Forest, Murchison Falls NP and the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. All were very worthwhile and each lodge seemed better than the one before. On the last evening Eli arranged for a birthday cake to be delivered to our table for Joanne's birthday, complete with sparklers and the staff singing Happy Birthday. What a thoughtful surprise.
Thanks to everyone at Home to Africa for a great trip.
Well organised, tailored tour
We (3 people) organised a 8-day tour of Uganda. Home to Africa was very responsive in the planning phase, and the journey was adapted to our requests. We faced a small problem at our arrival in Entebbe, as due to a miscommunication our driver arrived late, but we managed to contact the agency and fix the problem. Our guide driver, Benon, was absolutely perfect. He has a genuine love for nature and animals, and doing game drives with him has been fantastic. His driving is very good. Also the accommodations chosen by the company were very satisfactory. We can warmly recommend them, and in particular, Benon.
