Had a Fantastic trip
I had an amazing trip to Uganda.
The trip was planned in detail to perfection by Derrick.
I started the trip under the guidance of Balam .He was very knowledgeable and knew intricately the details of parks I had visited. He guided me to make the trip memorable. The accommodation selected was very good and I had a comfortable stay. My requirement of Vegetarian food was also met to my complete satisfaction.
I would like to thank the Home to Africa team to make my trip memorable.
The trip started with Ziwa Rhino sanctuary . Had a amazing Bird walk in Lugago swamp where we saw about 30 bird species. Then we had Rhino walk to see Rhinos at close quarters.
The Murchison Falls was amazing. The Water fall view at the Top of the falls should not be missed. We saw Lion, Leopards, Herds of Elephants and Buffaloes and many Antelope species. The highlight of the Trip was plenty of Giraffes. We also did a boat ride in the River to see many Hippo pods, crocodiles and animals coming to river for water. There is also plenty of Bird life.
I had chimp trek in Budango. It was a 4 hour trek in Dense jungle and the feel of we ( me and my guide ) surrounded by about 10-20 chimpanzees were amazing. The chimp on trees, walking around us, making prank at us was a life living moment.
I also had chimp trek in Kibale where the chimps are very closely habituated and came very near us. There were 3 chimps and we took plenty of photo of their antics.
This was followed by amazing the gorilla trek. We hiked in the dense rainforest amidst thick bushes, flowing streams, waterfalls. The hike was steep in the mountains and it was a very tough terrain. It was well worth it and we saw a family of 12 gorillas and spent about an hour with them. There was the silver back, some female gorillas, baby gorilla and adolescent gorillas. It was amazing to see them play, cuddle, reprimand, jump in trees, communicate with each other. It was one of the biggest moments of my life and feel blessed to see our close cousins in such close quarters.
On the same day night, I had Night safari in Lake Mburo. I saw two leopards hunting in the night. I also saw the glowing eyes of bush babies, Civets on the prowl, Hippos grazing along the Lake. It lasted about 2 1/2 hrs and we were back to the lodge for good night’s sleep.
The next day was a amazing bush walk into the jungle with the armed forest ranger. We first encountered a herd of buffaloes which my ranger said is dangerous and we moved into other direction. I saw bush bucks, Water bucks and Zebras in very close range and took many photos. The highlight of the trip was my coming close to giraffe family and seeing in close quarters the baby and adolescent Giraffes .The walk was for about 5 hours and I felt very refreshed.
Over all, the trip was very good and kudos to home of Africa Team for such a lovely trip

An travel experience of a lifetime
From the first contact untal leaving, we had the best travel and life experience. Hedmond answered so many questions we had before. Always kind and quickly. We had Derrick the wonder guide as our guide. Thats how we called him, since he was the best. In finding animals, his knowledge and great energy. We had so much fun. Thank you for our experience. We needed 3 days of rest after..to relax from all our great experiences.

Amazing tour, excellent service
I had booked a 21 day tour through Uganda from east to west. Home to Africa provided excellent service and was always highly responsive.
The tour stops were excellently selected as well as the accommodation.
I like to mention my guide Alex Namaara, he did an excellent job and he is the best guide I ever had.

Amazing Rwanda experience with very reliable tour operator
Me and my friend went on a 6-day tour through Rwanda with Home to Africa. I found the tour to be super well organized and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything went smoothly and our driver and tour guide was super helpful, friendly and very passionate about showing beautiful Rwanda to its visitors.
We went in a spacious, comfy and seemingly new safari car for the whole trip and first off we went to Akagrea national park where just after entering the park we already saw the first zebras and elephants! We went on several games drives and not only saw lots of animals but also beautiful landscapes and views all around. We stayed in a nice lodge with a pool that also provided packed lunch options for whole day safari drives. All very well organized.
We went on to Musanze for several activities inlcuding a visit to a cultural village, golden monkey trekking, a canoe tour (amazing views of the volcanoes!) and my personal highlight the gorilla trekking! This experience was just magical and a dream come true. We also were super lucky and only went the two of us with the guide and tracker to see the gorilla family and spend an hour with them!
I would highly recommend going with Home to Africa as the tour was so well organized and everything went smoothly (from covid tests to hotel check ins and pick up/drop off at activities) and we could really just relax and enjoy all the activities.

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.

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
