Faultless
We have recently returned from a 23 day stress free tour through South Africa compiled by Africa Travel Expert, Candice. From our first contact with Candice, to the start of our tour, one year later, the correspondence and attention to detail was outstanding. We initially provided our preferences and left Candice to use her expertise and knowledge to formulate a tour, stating in Cape Town and finishing with a safari in Kruger National Park. At all times during the planning we felt relaxed and confident in all of our dealings with Safari365, an overseas travel agent. Prior to our departure to South Africa we received a detailed, clear and concise, daily itinerary Every facet of the tour - from exiting Cape Town airport to drop off at Johannesburg airport, the accommodation, the day outings and the transfers - flowed without one hiccup. Also, our thanks to Stephanie, our appointed Concierge Specialist, offering to meet with us in Port Elizabeth and being available at all times. Thanks Safari365 for providing a stress free, faultless and mt memorable holiday. You have our highest recommendation..

Both were great, very greatful for all the experiences they gave us.
Having Home to Africa as our tour company for this trip is one of the best decisions weve could made.
From the first communication we had with Hedmond, with fast responeses all our doubts were cleared. The price of the trip seemed low for all that we recived in exchange during the trip. Hotels, food, the vehicles, etc.
We had a personal problem while traveling to Africa. My father was left behind, but the team was quick to help us solve it smoothly.
All the hotels we stayed in were nice and each one provided a different experience. From glamping to deluxe hotels. The food was very good.
At the end we wanted to go to Zanzibar. Home to Africa also help us booking hotels and tours there which were great.
I will come back every time with them.

Far More Than Gorillas – A Varied, Rewarding Safari Destination
Uganda was a wonderful surprise as a travel destination—far more varied than I expected. We came mainly for the primates, and gorilla trekking in Bwindi was unforgettable: we were lucky enough to encounter two gorilla families, and the trek was efficient without being exhausting. Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale and the community experience were also meaningful. But what really made Uganda stand out was everything beyond the primates: Queen Elizabeth National Park, with the Kazinga Channel boat cruise, had an astonishing density of hippos, elephants, buffaloes and birds; Ishasha’s tree-climbing lions were a unique bonus. The scenery was lush and green, the weather pleasant, and the lodges comfortable and well located. Our guide’s sharp eyes and professionalism made the wildlife viewing even better. My only regret is not allocating more days—before the trip I didn’t realize how much Uganda offers beyond gorillas, including Murchison Falls, Ziwa’s rhinos, shoebill swamps and Jinja. As a destination, Uganda feels fresh, less crowded and richly rewarding.

Unforgettable
We booked a safari for our honeymoon—you can book with them with complete confidence!
Athumani was very attentive; he stayed in touch before our departure to ensure everything was perfectly organized, and remained available throughout the trip and even afterwards!
Our guide, Gérald, was an extraordinary person—kind, very funny, and instrumental in making our trip truly unforgettable. Thank you so much for all the memories we will cherish forever.

Four years later, we still remember Anna's extraordinary hospitality!
My wife and I traveled to Tanzania in 2022 and arranged a wonderful safari through Porcupine Expeditions, a locally owned company based in Arusha.
Our safari took us through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the magnificent Serengeti. The wildlife and landscapes were unforgettable, but what made the experience particularly special was the personal attention we received from Anna, who organized our trip.
From our earliest correspondence, Anna was exceptionally thoughtful, patient, and accommodating. She took great care to understand our wishes and tailor the arrangements to our preferences.
One moment I'll never forget came when we finally met Anna in person in Arusha. She told us she had been so excited about meeting us that she could hardly sleep the night before! That genuine enthusiasm and warmth said everything about the personal care she brought to her work.
We have traveled extensively around the world, and it's rare to encounter someone who makes such a lasting impression.
Four years later, we still exchange birthday and holiday greetings with Anna. What began as a safari booking became a friendship that we continue to treasure.
I am happy to recommend Porcupine Expeditions to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania, particularly travelers who appreciate personal attention and the opportunity to support a locally owned business.
Our memories of Tanzania remain among our favorite travel experiences, and Anna is a big part of the reason why.

Yes, we saw the animales, thanks to the guide, but...
We booked a 8 days safarie and were going to stay in lodges and one night in a tent, but ended up 3 days in tents with bad food and no electricity for a shaver og hairdryer. We paid 3500 dollar each, or more, and expected more luxery. We should get some money back. This was not nice putting us in primitive tents. I will not recomend your Company to anyone.

Good Safari, it went a bit Quick and chaotisch at times.
Lovely people, we have seen everything we wanted however sometimes it felt a bit hurried and chaotic. The chef was really nice and all the parks were beautiful. They will tell you more if you ask them questions. Also keep in mind that the tips are sort of mandatory.

Welcoming and polite
Excellent Guide Godfrey, he made our 12 Day experience in Uganda enjoyable.
Our 12-day safari through Uganda was truly life-changing. From the moment we set out, the country’s diverse landscapes and warm hospitality made us feel welcome. Tracking rhinos on foot at Ziwa was an intimate, humbling start to an adventure that became more thrilling each day.
Murchison Falls was breathtaking. Watching the Nile surge through a narrow canyon from the top of the falls was spectacular, but the boat safari along the Nile River was the real highlight. Cruising past elephants, pods of hippos, and giant crocodiles felt like stepping straight into a nature documentary.
As we entered the lush rainforests, the wildlife encounters became even more personal. Tracking chimpanzees in Kibale Forest was an exhilarating rush of sound and movement as they swung through the high canopy. Queen Elizabeth National Park offered a beautiful contrast, with sweeping savannahs, tree-climbing lions, and an unforgettable boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel.
The crown jewel of the trip was gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Scrambling through the dense, misty jungle was challenging, but looking into the eyes of a mountain gorilla from just meters away was a profound moment I’ll carry with me forever.
Beyond the wildlife, the local food added another special dimension to our journey. Fresh tilapia by the water, perfectly spiced stews, and the famous local "Rolex" street food gave us a wonderful taste of Ugandan culture. If you’re looking for an unforgettable African adventure filled with incredible wildlife, stunning scenery, and vibrant culture, Uganda is an ideal destination.
