Wonderful time in Uganda
5/5

Solo traveler - Communication from the start was excellent , extremely fast in response and detailed plan of what the tour will be and what I should I expect from it. I did change the plan couple of time and they were very accommodating. My tour guide Brian was brilliant ! always showed up on time , answered any questions I had ( I asked alot) , funny and made sure every picture I wanted to take was taken . my experience wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for Brian.

if you are considering visiting Uganda use Home to Africa and ask for Brian !

The operator went out of their way to ensure we were happy clients.
4/5

I'm grateful to have had the experience of visiting Rwanda and Uganda. My husband and I live in NZ while our friends we travelled with were from New York. Our view is that a safari should last for about 3 hours. Then we should either return to a lodge and food, or, have a picnic that includes good food. Our friends from New York didn't care about food. They wanted the safari to last all day and go into the night. Some days the safaris lasted 7 hours. No food! No pee stops! I wasn't happy about this. Itn would have been tough to keep two entirely different couples happy. The guides were excellent. My husband and I were diagnosed with Covid and missed seeing the Chimpanzees in Rwanda. We tested again 24 hours later and were negative. Covid is another challenge. We were anxious about our fitness levels but a porter kindly hauled me along (for $20 US). Our hikes to see the gorillas and chimps in Uganda (after Rwanda) were short and manageable. The guides in both Rwanda and Uganda were very, very good people and would have done anything to ensure we had a memorable experience. I would have preferred a newer Toyota Land Cruiser and also morning and afternoon teas. Leaving a lodge at 6:30am, or earlier, and not returning until 1pm from a safari just doesn't fit with my blood sugar levels. I like to eat every 3 hours. There's more to life than searching for elusive lions and leopards. The lunches provided by the lodges were depressingly unpleasant. The evening meals were usually quite nice. Don't expect good quality wines. Sometimes I was offered 'box red dry or sweet, or box white dry or sweet. The lodge staff were magnificent. All the people we met were just delightful and no doubt marvelled at our petty little issues.

Client-oriented and experienced tour operator worth every penny
5/5

I was a bit hesitant to book a safari with a foreign african company, however booking with Home To Africa was a great decision.
They respond quickly, even during the night. They answer all of your questions tirelessly, explain, help plan, provide itinerary in advance.

The safari and adventure itself was 10/10 and every single thing we aimed to experience was delivered. Home To Africe took a great care of us and our guide KARIM was one of the best guides I have ever worked with. He was extremely helpful, curteous, knowledgeable, kind and made our wishes come true.

This adventure is definitely worth your time and money, Home To Africa is a proper company that is client-oriented and Karim was number 1.

We visited Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania and I cannot recommend more.

Do not hesitate!

Home to Africa is the best choice ....
5/5

I never write reviews, which is funny because I read all of them. HOME TO AFRICE delivered more then a trip of a life time. We made life long friendships. We booked Gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda. Everything was taken care and we where left not wanting to anything. We did the habituation trek in Uganda. It was the most challenging adventure of my life and worth every moment. The trek in Rwanda was complete different. The trek in Rwanda was not as difficult (thank goodness). I'm so happy we did both of them because of the chance to have 2 complete different experience's. Uganda was more trees and dark. Rwanda was more lush and green.
Karim Walugembe was our Uganda Safari guide. We were with him for 5 wonderful day. Karim is there head safari guide in Uganda and has been a guide for 15 yrs. We had so many good fortunes on our trip (good weather even though its rainy season, lodges to our selves, amazing food). The best fortune was getting Karim as our guide. He has years of knowledge and knowhow. I feel very strongly that the wrong guide could make or break your safari. Karim did more then make our trip, he left me with life long memories people can only hope to dream about. Bosco was our Rwanda guide. we were with him for 2 days. He did a great job as well. We are already planning our next trip back.

Great 8-day tour in Uganda

We really liked a 8-day tour in Uganda with Home to Africa: everything was smooth and well organised. Our guide Vianney was very helpful and informative. I would Highly recommend visiting Uganda in general and with Home to Africa in particular.

Perfectly organized 20-day trip to the Pearl of Africa
5/5

We can highly recommend Home to Africa. We were on a 20-day trip with them. The itinerary was amazing. They adjusted the tour according to our wishes. In the end, we had the most amazing trip with so many different activites.
Our driver / guide, Karim, made our trip perfect. He drove us around safely while spotting tons of animals and in the meantime he also explained us so many things about the history, culture, nature and the wildlife of Uganda.
He made sure that all our lodges were spottless and that we always were served great food. If we had any wishes, Karim would take care of it.

Thank you for making our trip to Uganda such a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

From the get go choosing Home to Africa has been amazing. Starting off with the email communication before the trip, helping and answering questions has been great. The to the trip itself, it was such an amazing experience.

The service was excellent, both our guides (Cedric in Rwanda and Benon in Uganda) were awesome. They made us feel safe, took great care of us, and made sure the trip went on smooth and were very knowledgable.
The different excursions and outings we did were all well organized, everything was taken care of by the company and the guides. It felt very worry free. All the different activities we did were great, and we felt that we really got a lot of value for the money we paid. It exceeded our expectations.

The staff in the hotels and the food was excellent. They were so attentive and helpful.

The different rangers and trekking guides we came across were all very informative and knowledgable.

I would recommend everyone to go visit Rwanda and Uganda and to use Home to Africa as a tour operator and to ask for Cedric and Benon as their guides!

I recommend this operator!
5/5

We chose one of the most budget tours to Uganda. The company had a lot of positive reviews, so there was practically no doubt in their choice. In general, the trip left the best impressions, we fulfilled all the goals and tasks set, we did trekking of gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys. Sometimes it seemed that the tour program was a bit long, which manifested itself in a lot of free time. Special thanks to our best guide Patrick. During the tour we became very good friends, we spent all the time together in a very pleasant friendly atmosphere. Let's hope to meet again one day! I will summarize my review by saying that I am ready to recommend this tour operator, I also recommend the guide Patrick as much as possible. All the best!

A fun and exciting tour
5/5

We loved our tour with Home to Africa. The experience was made easy with lots of information and a very knowledgeable and capable driver. The 5 different places we stayed were all very welcoming and accommodating. We LOVED our time in Bwindi and the gorilla trekking was definitely a highlight. Considering everything we got to see and do I feel the price was very reasonable. Our driver Patrick was excellent.
