Good service for the price
Edward was extremely communicative before I arrived in Uganda and was willing to work with me to build a package within my budget. They picked me up at my guest house in Entebbe but the safari car they picked me up in ended up having some issues so we had to switch to my guides personal van. It ended up working out fine but this put our schedule off track. They also over charged me by $20 upon arrival but by the time I noticed I was not able to meet them to get it back. All in all, if you're looking for a budget safari Home to Africa is a great option.

Posted on Dec 8, 2016Great to hear from you Neely, we are glad that you had a successful Safari. we are really sorry that the car we had later developed some mechanical problem, this was not speculated. December being a high season all our cars were engaged and we had to find a quick solution that later worked-out for us. This did not cost us not more-than one hour .
Your Safari was"a short notice request" and you preferred to pay by cash . we did not charge you 20$ as you mentioned , you paid in extra 20$ which was not noticed by both parties as you were setting off for your safari.
We are glad to say that we paid it out as per your request , payment was effected there and then and you acknowledged . We will be glad to have you on our safari once again . as our slogan - Hospitality Beyond Boarders

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.

Professional, competent and available
I have just come back from a wonderful trip to Uganda with my son and we still have in our heart the wonderful sensations that the Pearl of Africa was able to give us. We experienced fascinating things like the Murchison Falls or the close encounter with chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, but the most exciting experience was definitely the visit to the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable. The hour spent in the company of these gentle cousins of ours is something we will never forget. To organize the trip we evaluated a whole series of local operators and in the end we decided to rely on Home to Africa Tours and Travel: a truly apt choice. The organization was perfect and the support provided to us by Hedmond was punctual and competent in suggesting us the most convenient itinerary and extremely helpful and patient in listening to and satisfying our every need. A Tour Operator that we absolutely recommend.

Professionalism and competence
It was a very rewarding and fantastic tour with Home to Africa. Everything was extremely well organised, and both drivers/guides, Emir in Rwanda and Vianney in Uganda are very knowledgeable, communicative, professional and above all, very friendly and nice. They made the whole trip even more pleasant. It was a wonderful travel, and for sure I will get in contact with Home To Africa again the next time I will travel to Eastern Africa. Thanks!

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.

The trip of a lifetime
Our tour of Uganda was incredible, thanks to our wonderful guide, Derrick. The booking process was easy, and the tour itself was perfect. Some busy days, some relaxing days, and the right amount of activity and excursions. It was nice to tailor make the package to suit our schedule. Derrick knew so much about the animals and about Uganda. It was clear that his goal was to make our experience the very best that it could be. Our time was incredible and we saw so many animals, including the big 5. Top notch service. All of the accommodations were lovely and clean and had delicious meals. The car was comfortable and great for the game drives. Would 100% recommend this tour company.

Trip of a lifetime!
We had an amazing 10 day trip with Karim. We spent time in Murchison Falls (our favorite), trekked the chimps and gorillas-loved them both! Did a couple of boat rides-both amazing! The staff at all accommodations were very friendly and welcoming. We loved hearing Karim teach us about his home country-Uganda. Overall, a great trio and ask for Karim to be your guide.

Amazing experience & Great Staff
We had a great experience with Adam and Home to Africa. The communication from Home to Africa was great and we felt very looked after the whole time. Our Tour Driver Adam was very knowledgeable of the local surroundings and had a great passion for his work. Adam went above and beyond for us and was very accommodating and worked very hard to get all our needs met including when we fell ill and had to go to the doctors, Adam took care of everything and rearranged things for us so we wouldn't miss out on anything. And Adam also helped us out after hours after our tour had finished, our flight got rescheduled unexpectedly and we were left at the airport but Adam came to the rescue and arranged airport transportation and accommodation for us even though he didnt have to. We found all the accommodation staff to be very friendly and welcoming too. The food was always delicious and there was always plenty of food all day. We would highly recommend this tour and this tour group to everyone and we are very Thankful that we chose Home To Africa and thankful for all of Adams hard work too.
