Great value with high quality. Highly recommended
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.

6 days Kilamanjaro - incredible
Last week we set off on a 6 day route with Mafie Adventures on Kilamanjaro. This has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Although I did struggle each day, the amazing guides Oliver & John were always able to put me at ease. I would not have been able to get to the top if it wasn't for these two incredible men. Our entire experience with Mafie was brilliant. They have a brilliant team full of reassurance along with amazing chefs and porters. I will definitely use this company again or recommend to others. Asante Sana

Great partner to fulfill your dreams
We can fully recommend to climb the Kilimanjaro with the almighty Team. The organisation off-mountain as well as on the Mountain was perfect. The communication with the Almighty director Rashid was easy via Mail and WhatsApp. He answered our questions fast and was flexible with our wishes like date of departure and extra nights in the Hotel before or after the climb. On arrival we were picked up on time by our driver Raphael, who also showed us the town of moshi the next Day and drove us back to the airport on our last Day. At the salinero Hotel, where we had a relaxing stay with delicious breakfast and Dinner before and after the climb, Rashid introduced us to our head guide Emanuel. Before departure, Emanuel checked our luggage to see if anything is missing. With Emanuel, the assistance guide Issa, the chef Martin and the porters Feya, Haji, Youness, Kelvin, Julius and Kanaa, we had an amazing time on the Kilimanjaro. Emanuel and Issa made the trip very enjoyable, despite the sometimes tiring hikes, and were like friends to us. They are very knowledgable about the flora and fauna of kilimanjaro. They made us reach the peak by their constant Motivation and help with even carrying our daybags in the long and strenous summit night. The Chef Martin prepared delicious breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and even snacks in the afternoon, so we were never hungry. Our tent was large enough for the two of us and equipped with mattresses as well as a table and two chairs. All in all, we had a great time under the guidance of Emanuel and the whole almighty Team and would recommend it to people who are looking for an adventure and don't mind the hardships of climbing a 5895m tall mountain.

Give you an unforgettable tour of a lifetime
If you are looking for a safari tour, Karibu Safaris is recommended. Mr. Castro who was our tour operator was very entertaining. They spent hours trying to show us as many rare moments of animals as possible. And the driving technique was excellent, showing the animal at the closest and best point of any car. Thank you Castro. The inn run by the Maasai tribe was also very enjoyable. The tent was comfortable and the conversation with the Maasai tribe was very humorous and fun. It was the most memorable and fun tour of my life.

Kind, fun, accommodating, organised and unforgettable!
What a team! Webster was brilliant, everything was perfectly organised and we had so much fun! We did Victoria falls, Hwange and Chobe. Each one was flawless and we were in contact easily with the team if we needed anything. I’d highly recommend them!

Awesome !! everything was top notch!
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

Simply the best
I have been to East Africa three times in 5 years, and yet the Lush Africa Safaris guys still managed to amaze me this last September. Kenya is my pick out of the pool when it comes to raw safari experience, but nothing is as exciting as the mountain gorillas in Uganda. In fact, the wildlife here is a given. The hunting dogs blow my mind away. This was my most memorable trip to Africa, and I plan to go further south next time – again with Lush. Their professionalism and kindness are unmistakable.

Efficient
Pros: Overall great experience. Saw all the animals on the bucket list. Our guide was great about following any leads from other drivers to make sure we saw the big 5 and more. He was responsive to when we wanted to stop and was genuinely friendly and kind.
Cons: You are on a trip with multiple people on different itineraries, so there is some extra travel between safaris and differing accommodations, which takes up some extra travel time. Also because of this, there is some group decisions that need to be made that may compromise what you want to do. We were also never offered the boat trip the at was supposedly available on my itinerary because others had it scheduled on a different day, which was frustrating. Additionally, this trip is in a van vs jeep/Range Rover so there are limits as to speed and locations where you can drive. It did not seem to affect the total animals we saw but luck may have been on our side.
Overall the trip was awesome, but if you want full control of your itinerary, there may be better options.
