Awesome !! everything was top notch!
5/5

last month we did an 8 day trip to Uganda at Home to Africa.
The trip was a curated trip to our wishes.
It was an unforgettable trip!! What we saw really exceeded all our expectations! With the Gorillas as the highlight. We had Derrick as a guide and this man gave our holiday a top experience.
It was great

Great value with high quality. Highly recommended
5/5

We were keen to get a reasonably priced yet high quality tour and Home to Africa delivered. On our safari, we saw chimpanzees, gorillas and lions up close, as well as many more animals. Our driver, Brian, was knowledgeable and great company; the lodges were clean and very well maintained, food was delicious and plentiful and we had no complaints. As well as the gorilla and chimp treks, three game drives were included in our 4 night tour. More expensive safaris do the same treks, so I highly recommend Home to Africa. Also, all lodges were Ugandan owned.

Amazing 10-Day Safari through Beautiful Uganda
5/5

We did the 10 day Pearl of Africa Tour in November 2022 and enjoyed every second of it. We visited both Murchison Falls NP, as well as Queen Elizabeth National Park, did the Chimp and the Gorilla Trekking.

The communication with Hedmond beforehand was wonderful and he always answered us promptly.

Our guide Benon made it a memory to last and we can highly recommend him to show you beautiful Uganda.
He took great care of us and let us have a lot of time with the animals we encountered. We felt safe and very welcome during our entire stay and are already looking forward to coming back.

We loved the safari. It was varying and always exciting. The organization was perfect and our guide, Balamo, was the best we could have asked for. Highly recommended!!

Home To Africa excelled in every way by by fulfilling all my wishes and more.
5/5

From my first communication through Safari Bookings, Home To Africa was first to reply and with an ideal safari itinerary for the 13 days we had to spend in Uganda. Derrick was able to get the desired luxury level lodges even when we were told by others that they were not available. We wanted to meet up with friends for gorilla trekking and stay at their same lodge for 3 nights. Another travel company used by our friends quoted us $10,000 more for nearly the same lodge bookings and didn't respond for a couple weeks. Needless to say, we chose Home To Africa and were so glad we did. We arrived in Uganda on my birthday and were met by Kareem and his big smile. I was excited to see him for I had read of his wonderful reviews from other travelers. Our flight was 3 hours later than originally planned, but this was not a problem for the Home To Africa team; adjustments were made and instead of visiting the home office to meet the booking team, Hedmond called to wish me a Happy Birthday and a great trip. Very Nice! We loved our guide Kareem from the start. His knowledge of Uganda and its people opened our hearts to this jewel of Africa. Kareem made the long drives between the national parks enlightening as he described the crops grown and way of life of the villagers. His keen sense for finding animals was evidenced by spotting a leopard's kill in a tree and knowing the leopard would not be far away. He knows about all the birds inhabiting Uganda as well and would find them in his bird book to show us a close up picture and describe its characteristics. We didn't have much interest in birding until this time, but Kareem spurred our interest and by the end of our safari I was naming each bird we saw. Kareem was always the gentleman and a good photographer too helping to zoom in on a bird he saw and snapping its picture. The picture he took of us at Murchison Falls with the rainbow surrounding us was so artistic. Thanks for everything Kareem; we will not forget you and if we should have the chance to return to Uganda you can bet we will ask for you. We will recommend Home To Africa to all our friends.

Brian is a fantastic tour guide - he is really easy to get along with and great at spotting leopards
5/5

We booked Home to Africa after reading the reviews online. We had a fantastic 8 day tour with Brian, it was a jam-packed schedule but enough to see some of the highlights in Uganda (including amazing experiences with the chimps and gorillas). The tour was extremely well organised and the Home to Africa had great communication and was very easy to deal. Brian was a great tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and always had a smile on his face (even after some very long tough drives). All of the accommodation was very comfortable and the staff at each lodge were great. If you are looking to do a tour around Uganda, I highly recommend Home to Africa!

Thanks home to Africa for organising this wonderful trip where everything is thought and perfect. You give a very good experience. It's just amazing how you chose and prepare the programme with such a good quality. Thank you very much. Unforgettable moments.
Our guide Benon was very professional, passionated and experienced. He adapted the trip to us and listened our requirements. We felt well with him and we enjoy every excursion day and game drive. Thanks you for your efforts.
You can count on this company and his professionally.

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!
