Amazing 11 days tour across Uganda - once in a lifetime experience
I joined a 11 days tour of Uganda organized by Rafiki Eco-Safaris - what an experience. Yakub, the owner, joined the trip together with Robinson, our driver and guide. The two of them know Uganda in and out, they knew all the best spots, hotels, and local fixers to help us get through Uganda in the smoothest possible way. We started our trip in Kampala, and drove directly to Fort Portal, where we hike to some crater lakes, and to a cave area. In the evening, we performed a night walk around a lake looking for bush babies. The next day, we woke up early to do a chimpanzee trek in the Kibale NP, my personal highlight of the trip. After that, we drove down to Kasese, and stayed three days around the Queen Elizabeth NP, where we had some really close encounters with lions, did one of the best boat rides I had in the whole of Africa, and visited the beautiful volcanic craters of the park. After Queen Elizabeth, we got to Bwindi NP, where we had the second highlight of the trip, gorilla trekking. Yakub organized a stay at the clinic for gorillas, and visits to local Batwa (pygmeys) tribes and coffee plantations. Finally, we stayed at Lake Bunyoniy, in an amazing lodge, and after that a visit to Lake Mburo NP, where we could do an exciting game walk with giraffes. Yakub and Robinson were kind enough to change our plan last minute and help us cross to Rwanda rather than going back to Kampala. They drove us to the border, helped us get a covid test to cross, and made sure we would reach Kigali safely. All in all, one of the most professional tour operators I've met in the whole of Africa, highly recommended.

Helped me get a permit in Rwanda, recommended
Excellent tour operator. Home to Africa helped me organize a visit to the Volcanoes NP in Rwanda, getting a permit for the Golden Monkeys trek, and organizing the drive from Ruhangeri to the park for me. Easy to communicate with, fast delivery of the permit, and the driver was very punctual and helpful. All in all, recommended if you need help navigating permits in Rwanda.

The tour operator has the knowledge and expertise that made our tour very memorable.
They offered us an incredible experience. The tour guide was experienced and a good orator. He had hands on knowledge with regards to the terrain, the animals and the birds. Gates adventure safaris gave us real value for the money that we had paid. I would recommend the tour operator to any tourist who wishes to visit Kenya and East Africa.

A experience out of this world and memorable forever.
Going to Rwanda with Home to Africa safaris was the best decision I could have done. They were very professional at all times and I couldn't feel in better hand during the whole experience. They took care of everything from the beginning and prepared a wonderful itinerary based in what we wanted to see and experience.
This is going to be one of the most memorable experiences in my lifetime and Im happy I selected Home to Africa to make it happen

THE BEST QUALITY/PRICE AND GREAT IMPRESSION. ONE OF THE BEST TRIP IN MY LIFE!
Salim answered all of our questions patiently and quickly from the start. All of our accommodations were excellent, with amazing food and service. Special thanks to Joel and Peter, our very knowledgeable and friendly guides who made this trip so memorable. Every day (no matter how early), they greeted us with great enthusiasm and eagerness to show us more wildlife up close, allowing us to take great pictures. During our drives, we had many discussions about wildlife and the environment, not to mention all of the laughter from their great sense of humor. We sincerely thank all of the staff at Zamunda Tours for their efforts in making this a memorable trip.

Excellent
The perfect tour exists here. Guides and staff are so nice and I would book again in a heart beat. Initially only booked for trekking but was extremely impressed when we asked to book a safari a day before departure and they executed.

Everything was smooth and well organized
Amazing experience! I booked 1 day Safari trip to Mikumi park from Zanzibar. Everything was well organized and smooth. We had an amazing Safari experience seeing lions, zebras, leopard, buffalos, hippos, girafes and more. Me and my son loved every minute! 100% recommended!

Simply the BEST. Everything we had hoped for and much MORE. A dream come true
The initial contact and response to my enquiries was immediate. I stated what we hoped to see and Martin sent an itinerary which fit exactly what we were looking for. Other companies just sent a list of possible itineraries which was not what we wanted.
We specifically wanted an in depth experience with a private vehicle and guide which was part of the package offered. Our Guide, Pilot Manga, is born and raised in the Okavango and found all of the animals we were hoping to see, despite high grass. If Pilot cannot find an animal it is because it is not there! His skills in the bush are impressive and he imparts an incredible and personal experience that makes the unforgettable.
Our chef and camp manager were both equally delightful and looked after our every need with care and kindness. The service comes from their hearts and this is not something that is easily found in today's world. We did not want to be in areas with groups or crowds and did not want the luxury lodge option which does not, in my opinion bring you so close to nature.
We visited two different areas that contrasted and complimented each other and the planning, execution and running of the tour, travel between areas and all related details were meticulously taken care of.
If you are looking for an incredible and very personal experience, then look no further. THIS is the BEST option you will find.
