Best tour/guide ever!
We did 13 days tour over Uganda and we made a great choice in selecting Home to Africa for the journey.
They were simply perfect. Since the preparation where Hedmond supported us in the overall decision making process to the actual tour where we had our greatest luck to find Derrick as driver.
He loves what he does and you can feel it, we had fun, he brought us in wonderful places and always did the extra mile to make us happy.
Uganda is amazing, wonderful parks, animals and people will for sure make your trip one of the best of your lives.
Definitely recommended Home to Africa and Derrick as guide.

Just perfect!
We were a group of 3 and traveled through Uganda for 7 days. Everyone at Home to Africa was competent, friendly, highly responsive and we can only recommend booking the tour with them. William our guide and driver was also very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and the best guide you could imagine. When our luggage arrived two days late at Entebbe airport, he did everything in his power to have someone pick up the luggage at the airport and transport it to a place that was on our route. You could feel blessed in case you get William as your guide. Uganda and Home to Africa was just such a great experience that we will never forget!!

Competent, professional and reliable
We were a travel group of 3 couples and last year, we spontaneously decided to book a 22-day intinary with Home To Africa, 18 days through Uganda and 4 days in the north of Kenya.
Hedmond of Home to Africa, informed us precisely, competently and always very promptly during the contacting and tour finding process.
Derrick then guided us through Uganda in a Land Cruiser 4x4. We experienced him as a very reliable, professional guide who always knew comprehensively about the country, its people, life and history. He also knew a lot about nature and great wildlife. The lodges suggested and booked by Home to Africa also surprised us very positively. Very good service, extremely friendly people, good rooms and last but not least the fine food convinced us.
The highlights of gorilla and chimpanzee trekking will remain in our memories forever. Great experience.
Jeremy from Home To Africa accompanied us for 4 days from Nairobi to the Samburu and Ol Pejeta conservancy in Northern Kenya.
We can also rate Jeremy as a good guide and the stays in both areas with many animal sightings were a wonderful experience.
We can highly recommend Uganda/Kenya Tours, being organized by Home To Africa. +

A very good experience
We had a very good experience with Home of Africa. We had a 11 days safari and everything turned out perfect. Our guide Karim took care of all the details, and he was very patient with us. We recommend this experience.

Stress-free travel
We did a 16 day tour through Rwanda and Uganda and it was an amazing experience. Home to Africa tailored our itinerary to our needs and both of our guides worked to ensure that we had the most enjoyable time possible. We participated in a diverse range of activities and had plenty of opportunities to explore the nature and people of these beautiful countries. Highly recommend this company and in particular the guides Augustin (in Rwanda) and Benon (in Uganda). Both were exceptional drivers with immense knowledge of their country and the nature.

Excellent team that worked to always improve
We have had a lovely trip in a 10 days Taylor made trip.
The service of the office team in the organization of the trip, understanding our needs and adapting the tour and the quality of the Lodge to ours.
And we had a lot of luck with our guide, Karim: what a kindly man! He was looking for our best enjoying of the trip and for our security in all the moments and his knowledge about animals, birds and history of Uganda were really excellent. We realise how every body in the parks, Lodge and also in the roads appreciate him so much.

The Best Tour/Safari I've Ever Taken
In short, this was the best tour/safari I've ever taken in 20+ years of traveling! We debated different tours/operators, but after completing the '10-Day Tailor-Made Holiday & Tour in Uganda –Big 5 Safari' tour, I can't image there being a better option.
From the beginning when we first made contact with 'Home To Africa' to the end of the tour, everything went as smoothly as possible. Communication with the company was excellent and we didn't experience a single issue during our 10-day tour.
Everyday was a new adventure and the daily events kept us busy (but we weren't overly rushed). The itinerary was well thought out as it did a good job balancing game drives, boat rides, treks, rest time, eating, shopping and driving between destinations.
Our guide for the tour, Amos, was simply outstanding. His vast knowledge of African wildlife and his passion for being in the wilderness is unbeatable, and it really added to our experience in Uganda. He was flexible when needed, but he kept us in line to make sure we stayed on schedule. He kept the conversation going when appropriate, but he would also allow us to enjoy the peacefulness/quietness of the wild.
The lodges which were selected for the tour were also top notch. With a mix of tents, lodges and hotels, I feel that we got to experience a nice range of accommodations in Uganda. Not to mention the meals served in these places were of excellent quality. And they provided so much food...hunger was never a concern!
All-in-all, I couldn't provide a higher recommendation for this company. Simply put, everything was perfect, and we hope to use 'Home To Africa' once again in the future.
Thanks for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Very professional and personal tour, just great!
I spent 8 days on tour through Uganda with my wonderful guide, driver, and in the meantime friend, Karim. He is a very safe and cautious driver and explains very patiently everything about the country, the animals, the culture and so on and he answered all of my questions. I really enjoyed to travel with him.
The booking process with Home to Africa was super friendly and they were very flexible with accommodating many wishes from my side. So in the end I had a tour tailored exactly to my wishes.
I thank Karim and the entire company so much for this incredible time, that I could spend in beautiful Uganda!

Perfectly organized totally as advertised exceptional experience in the beautiful national parks.
I did 7-Day tour and Vacation in Uganda with Gorilla Trekking with Home to Africa.
It was just me and my delightful competent guide/driver Karim. Seeing Chimps and Gorillas so close in their natural habitat was the obvious highlight, but the boat ride in the channel between the lakes in Queen Elizabeth National Park was very enjoyable, especially seeing elephants wading into the water.
I loved the safari drives in Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo National Park. Lake Mburo was like I had read a strategic stop between Bwindi and Entebbe, AND it really had a lot of animals. One thing about safaris is that with every additional drive and every additional place, you see something new or in a different way. Also, the Eagles Nest Lodge had the most incredible views. A perfect place to sip wine and reflect on all you experiences.
I chose budget accommodations and the cabins were all pleasant, hot water, comfy beds and beautiful surroundings. The food was pretty good and they all had a bar of some sort.
My experience was so much better because of Karim. He was a perfect handler. He spoke very clear English and had a funny sense of humor. He made sure I knew what was expected and what I should wear and have with me. He made sure I did not forget anything anywhere. He advocated for me. His driving skills kept me calm and he was great company; a curious intelligent person. If I saw a rare bird, Karim did not rest until that bird was identified. In addition, he also did not rest until I was safely out of Uganda. It was clear that with Home to Africa I was important and in good hands. I always felt my safety, comfort and quality of experience were top priority.
